Take the High Performer Stress Assessment → http://higheralignmentconsulting.scoreapp.com What if one of the greatest gifts you could give your child isn't better parenting, but a more regulated nervous system? In this episode, I sit down with nervous system coach Laura Larios to explore how our childhood experiences shape the way we lead, parent, and respond to stress. We discuss why children borrow the nervous systems of the adults around them, how unresolved emotional wounds show up in high performers, and simple ways to break generational patterns without striving for perfection. If you've ever wondered why your child's emotions trigger you or how to create a calmer, more connected home, this conversation is for you. ________________________________ KEY TAKEAWAYS Your child learns emotional safety from your nervous system before they learn it from your words. Unresolved childhood wounds can quietly shape how you parent, lead, and respond to stress. Small moments of regulation can create lasting change for both you and your children. ________________________________ Episode Highlights: nervous, system, regulation, parenting, trauma, childhood, emotions, children, burnout, stress, leadership, healing, safety, connection, triggers, dysregulation, attachment, somatic, grief, anger, anxiety, overwhelm, caregivers, teachers, capacity, presence, resilience, relationships, generational, patterns ________________________________ ⭐ If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe and leave a 5-star review so more people can find the tools they need to live and work in alignment. ________________________________ LINKS & RESOURCES Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/lauralisalarios/ LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauralisalarios/ Website →https://lauralisalarios.com/ ________________________________ MORE FROM MINH-THU Learn about the Higher Alignment Program → http://higheralignmentconsulting.com/program Book Your Assessment Call → https://calendly.com/higheralignmentconsulting/30minutes Take the High Performer Stress Assessment → http://higheralignmentconsulting.scoreapp.com Connect on https://www.linkedin.com/in/minh-thulam/ Follow on https://www.instagram.com/minhthu_lam/ ________________________________ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 01:01 Why Nervous System Work Matters More Than Ever 07:08 What It Means When Children Borrow Your Nervous System 11:41 How Childhood Trauma Shapes Adulthood 17:35 Why High Performers Repeat Unhealthy Patterns 20:33 Why Your Child's Emotions Trigger You 26:57 Why You Need to Feel Every Emotion 33:06 Creating Safety Before Healing 38:40 Breaking the Cycle With Your Children 44:17 Practical Steps to Stay Calm in Difficult Moments 52:25 Small Changes That Transform Your Nervous System 54:32 Final Thoughts & Where to Find Laura
