Regulated-ish | March: The Messy Middle of Mom Life, Emotional Regulation & Giving Yourself a Gentle Landing

Two moms, two cities, one frequency. In this month's episode, we're getting real about the overwhelm of March — from bodies breaking down over a can of Dr. Pepper to the mental load of parenting, the inner critic that never shuts up, and why January resolutions can feel like pressure instead of a fresh start.We dive into the messy middle of emotional regulation, the tug-of-war between anxiety and ADHD, and how internalized patriarchy shows up in mom life and between women. We talk about seasonal depression, nervous system overload, time blindness in the post-COVID era, and why history keeps repeating itself.Most importantly, we remind each other (and you) to be gentle with your wiring. Not everything needs to get done today. You don't have to figure it all out right now.🎧 Topics covered:• Mom therapy & the mental load• Emotional regulation when you're running on empty• Nervous system care for overwhelmed moms• The inner critic & internalized patriarchy• Anxiety, ADHD & the "messy middle"• Seasonal depression & vitamin D struggles• Giving yourself a gentle landingIf anything here stirs something up, check out the Mind Circuit app on Apple Store and Google Play for gentle ways to settle your nervous system.Keywords: mom, mom therapy, emotional regulation, nervous system, regulation, mom life, mental load, anxiety, ADHD, inner critic, seasonal depression, parenting, self-care, women supporting womenStart Your Reset TodayDownload Mind Circuit for Emotional Regulation & Somatic Tools:iOS App Store → Download NowGoogle Play → Download NowConnect & Listen: YouTube Music → Subscribe for Audio Resets(New Platform Growth)  @MindCircuitAppInstagram → @erin_notestomynervoussystemWebsite → mindcircuit.org #NervousSystemRegulation#SomaticHealing #MomTherapy #EMDRatHome #BilateralStimulation#TraumaInformedParenting #SecureAttachment #EmotionalRegulationLegal & SafetyDisclaimer: Notes to My Nervous System is an educational and psychoeducational resource created by Erin Vandermore, LCMHC.
