Change, Loss and Regulating Your Emotions Amid Family Chaos

EP:160 Hey Thrive Community! It’s Brooke here, and in this episode of the Thrive Like a Parent Podcast, I’m giving you a real, raw update on all the things happening in my world. From juggling the chaos of family schedules—think travel baseball, umpiring, and softball—to stepping back into my business and finally deciding it’s time to write that book I’ve been talking about for years, I’m sharing it all. I open up about how the recent eclipse and life’s curveballs have pushed me to trust my instincts, speak my truth, and embrace change—even when it’s uncomfortable. I dive into why emotional and sensory regulation are the real keys to mental health, and how our brains are becoming desensitized to the violence and chaos around us. Plus, I get honest about the challenges of solo parenting, co-parenting, and making space for my own growth and healing. If you’re feeling stretched, pulled, or just trying to “do it all” without burning out, this episode is for you. Let’s keep being bold, keep growing, and keep thriving—together.
