Parenting is rewarding, but let’s be real—it can also be exhausting, overwhelming, and triggering. Ever find yourself going from calm to chaos in seconds? Snapping at your kids, feeling guilty, and wondering why certain behaviors push your buttons so hard?
In this episode with special guest Damara McKoy, we’re diving deep into parenting triggers—what they are, why they happen, and how to respond with patience instead of panic. Our expert guest, a psychologist specializing in emotional regulation, will help us explore:
- The hidden reasons your child’s behavior triggers you
- How your own childhood experiences shape your parenting reactions
- Strategies to stay calm and present, even in stressful moments
- How to rewire your responses to build a more peaceful home
If you’re tired of reacting instead of responding and want to create a calmer, more connected parenting experience, this episode is for YOU!
