Ep 41: We Teach People How to Treat Us | Modeling Self-Respect, Boundaries, and Nervous System Safety

Momhood taught me a lot. One of the hardest lessons was realizing that I was teaching people how to treat me by the way I was treating myself. Every time I pushed past my limits, apologized for resting, or made myself the last priority, I was modeling something to my kids.In this episode, I talk about what it means to prioritize yourself without guilt. Not by quitting your responsibilities. But in small, steady choices that say, I matter too. We explore how childhood trauma responses in adults can make rest feel unsafe, why guilt shows up when you stop overfunctioning, and how to heal your nervous system from trauma so you can parent from regulation instead of survival mode.⟡QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Our actions teach people how to treat us by the way we treat ourselves.”⟡ ABOUT THE HOST, NAOMI SPARKS Naomi Sparks is a mom, wife, healing coach, and a cult survivor.
