368. Is calm even possible with toddlers? (Nervous system regulation)

Garrett joins us for a solocast on nervous system regulation and her current thesis that "calm" is not fully accessible during the newborn + toddler era. It's more about bobbing and weaving between the levels of consciousness-- for instance, fight or flight is needed, at times, if your little one is injured; reactive consciousness is needed when you hear them scream across the park; restful awareness can be cut short when they scream for no reason (LOL). This episode dives into the navigation between the levels of consciousness and sheds light on how as moms, we can give ourselves permission to *not* be calm, but do things to access it intermittently... and that is a practice and a skill! ___________________________ @kozekozemama on TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Purchase Nip Gloss ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠or Pre-Order the kozēpee peecup (for ovulation and pregnancy testing with code THANKYOU20 Want commission + discounts to kozēkozē products? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to be an affiliate and kozēkozē insider :) Sign-up for the kozēkozē newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *********** Connect with our host on IG: @garrettnwood Follow kozēkozē on IG: @kozekozemama Podcast Instagram for details on past guests: @kozekozepodcast If you like Garrett's voice, check out her ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠meditations here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email garrett: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
