Your Childhood Shapes Your Motherhood: The Neuroscience Behind Why You Feel SO Triggered as a Mom

What I share in this podcast interview is seriously everything I wish I’d known from the start of my motherhood journey. I just WISH someone had prepared me for how much my kids would trigger me, would bring up the most horrible, HURT parts of me I wasn’t even necessarily aware existed…and what was REALLY going on in those moments. It’s taken me years of struggle and study to realize your present-day triggers actually stem from DEEP childhood wounds and it’s so important to do the inner work of healing to ensure you don’t pass those wounds on to your kids.

Mom life IS stressful. We DO get triggered and then respond to our kids from a stressed-out, emotionally dysregulated state. But it’s NOT just the present stress that’s coming up in those moments. It goes so much deeper and the more aware you are of this, the more you can counteract your triggers and respond to your kids from love and connection, even WHEN you’re stressed.

I’m sharing an interview I gave in which I talk not just about my own hard and healing journey of motherhood, but the REAL path to being a happier mom—why you HAVE to heal your nervous system so you can break these vicious generational cycles and truly become the mom you want to be—the mom your kids deserve…the parent YOU deserved when you were a kid.

//ABOUT THIS CHANNEL
Tired of being stressed and overwhelmed?

Having more to do than time to do it is not only exhausting, it’s unsustainable. Believe me, I know: balancing a full-time career with having FOUR kids while trying to maintain my own identity and sanity has been HARD! But I've been determined to make it work—to simplify my life by being as productive and purposeful as possible. And if I can do it, you can too!

As an academic researcher, I’ve OBSESSIVELY sought out scientifically proven ways to enhance efficiency and success while overcoming burnout and despair. My goal is to help you know what I only wish I had—that there are simpler ways of doing what you MUST in order to maximize doing what you LOVE.
