Episode Details

Are you snapping at your kids and wondering why your patience is gone? Have you gotten so used to pain, fog, or exhaustion that you’ve stopped noticing it? Are you trying to figure out what your child needs while your own body is running on empty?

In this episode, I’m sharing honestly about my summer, when a fall knocked me off my feet and showed me how much our bodies affect the way we show up for our families. We’ll talk about how chronic pain, exhaustion, and brain fog affect your nervous system and your parenting. I’ll also share four steps for recognizing what you’re carrying and caring for yourself so you can advocate for your child from a steadier place. We’ll look at how God cared for Elijah’s body before anything else, and I’ll introduce a special series of re-released episodes on caring for our minds and bodies as moms.

In this episode:

• The body and brain inventory: noticing what you’ve normalized
• How pain and exhaustion affect your nervous system and your family
• Regulating before you advocate: simple tools to use before appointments and hard moments
• Advocating for yourself the way you advocate for your child
• What 1 Kings 19 teaches us about rest, nourishment, and our limits

While you're here, please leave a quick rating or review! I pray this episode blesses you! Remember, you don't just have to survive mama- you can thrive!
