Ever feel like you're about to completely lose it as a mom? You're not alone, and you're not broken. In this episode, we dive deep into what emotional overwhelm really looks like for mothers and why traditional advice like "just take deep breaths" doesn't work when you're already in meltdown mode. I'll walk you through the science behind why we get so triggered, share my proven SAFE framework for emotional regulation, and give you emergency tools you can use the very next time you feel that volcano rising inside. This isn't about becoming a perfect, zen mother—it's about having real strategies that work in real moments with real kids who are having real meltdowns.
