from The Raising Kids with Purpose Podcast · host Adriane Thompson

If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I stay calm with my child when I know what to do?” — this episode is for you. You’re not broken. Your child isn’t broken. But your nervous system may be stuck in survival mode. In this first episode of Raising Kids With Purpose, Adriane shares how her early childhood experiences shaped her parenting — and the turning point that changed everything. After struggling with traditional discipline methods that didn’t work, she discovered the power of co-regulation, nervous system healing, and connection-based parenting. In this episode, we're chatting about: • Why parenting feels harder when you’re dysregulated • What co-regulation really means in everyday life • Why calm is contagious — and so is chaos Adriane is sharing the science behind co-regulation and practical steps you can take to become a calmer, more regulated parent. The cycle stops with you. The healing starts with you.
