143. Why Resilient Moms Still Lose It — And How to Stop

Send us Fan MailIf you want to stop yelling at your kids and be a calmer mom— this episode is where it starts.Every mom has had that moment — the reaction that came out of nowhere, bigger than the situation called for, that left you wondering what just happened inside you.As a resilient mom, you're not broken — you're just working with a nervous system that nobody taught you how to read. I walk you through what's really happening in your brain and body when you snap at the people you love most — why emotional regulation for moms starts not with trying harder, but with understanding yourself more deeply. For a stressed mom, help is on the way!We look at why calm parenting and parenting without yelling isn't about willpower — it's about nervous system regulation. I'll show you how your stress signature gives you an early warning system before you lose it, and how brain-based parenting changes everything about how you respond in hard moments. I'll give you two practical frameworks so you can move from reacting on autopilot to responding from the mom you actually want to be — because peaceful parenting isn't a personality type. It's a skill. And it starts here.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com
