Brave and Bloom

In this episode of Brave and Bloom, I’m talking about intrusive thoughts and why they are not the enemy, even though they can feel terrifying when you're experiencing them.I share what intrusive thoughts actually are, why they often show up in motherhood, and how so many moms mistakenly believe these thoughts mean something is wrong with them. The truth is that intrusive thoughts are often rooted in protection, not danger.We talk about why thoughts can feel so real, how anxiety attaches emotion to those thoughts, and why so many mothers carry shame and guilt for experiences that are actually far more common than they realize.Intrusive thoughts are not a reflection of who I am. Having intrusive thoughts does not make me a bad mom. They are not predictions, intentions, or desires. They are simply messages from my brain and body trying to keep me alert, aware, and protective of what matters most.The thought feels real because emotion is attached to it. When I connect fear, anxiety, guilt, or shame to an intrusive thought, it starts to feel true. But just because I think something does not mean it will happen. My job is to recognize the thought, question it, and separate fear from reality.Intrusive thoughts often point to a deeper need for support. Many intrusive thoughts are not actually about what I'm thinking. They are signals that I feel overwhelmed, unsupported, exhausted, anxious, or afraid. Instead of judging myself, I can get curious about what my mind and body are trying to tell me.If you've ever felt scared by your thoughts, questioned yourself as a mother, or worried that having intrusive thoughts means you're broken, this episode is a reminder that your thoughts do not define you. You are not a bad mom. You are not dangerous. You are not alone. And what you're experiencing may be your mind and body asking for support, safety, and understanding.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave and Bloom, I’m talking about what actually makes healing work and why true transformation goes so much deeper than just mindset shifts or positive thinking.I open up about what makes my coaching different, how I help clients heal from the inside out, and why nervous system healing and inner child healing are such a huge part of the work I do with mothers struggling with postpartum depression, anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional pain.I explain how so many of the emotions and triggers we experience in motherhood are connected to younger versions of ourselves that never felt emotionally safe, supported, or seen. When those emotions stay stuck in the body, they continue to show up in our relationships, parenting, anxiety, and everyday life until we finally slow down and heal them.Healing has to go deeper than just mindset work.Real healing is not just learning how to think differently. It is healing the body, nervous system, emotions, and the parts of me that were hurt and unsupported for years. Lasting transformation happens when I heal from the inside out, not just at the surface level.Inner child healing helps me understand and support myself differently. A lot of the emotions and triggers I experience today are connected to wounds and emotions that were never processed in the past. Learning how to “remother” myself teaches me how to give myself compassion, safety, and support instead of judgment and shame.Healing myself changes how I show up for my children and relationships. When I learn how to regulate my emotions, process my pain, and care for myself in healthier ways, it changes how I parent, communicate, and love the people around me. My healing creates a different future for both me and my children.This episode is a reminder that healing is possible. You are not broken. You are not too far gone. And you do not have to keep surviving motherhood carrying pain that was never meant to stay stuck inside of you forever.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave and Bloom, I’m talking about the one communication shift that completely changed my marriage and the way I connect in all of my relationships.So many of us are told to “just communicate better,” but when I’m overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or struggling internally, it’s not that simple. Most of the time, I’m expressing frustration without actually communicating the deeper emotion underneath it.The problem usually isn’t that I’m communicating, it’s that I’m not communicating the real emotion underneath it. When I say things like “you never help me” or “you don’t care,” that’s usually not the real message. What I’m actually feeling is overwhelmed, alone, unseen, or unsupported. And when I learn how to communicate the deeper emotion underneath the frustration, everything starts to change.People support me better when they can actually understand how I feel. Instead of just reacting emotionally or expecting someone to read my mind, I can communicate in a way that helps them emotionally connect to my experience. When someone understands the feeling underneath my words, it creates compassion, connection, and real support instead of defensiveness.Healthy communication starts with emotional awareness and safety. I can’t express my needs clearly until I understand what’s actually happening inside of me first. When I learn to regulate my emotions, communicate calmly, and create safe conversations, I stop feeling alone in my relationships and start feeling truly seen, heard, and supported.If you’ve been feeling misunderstood, disconnected, resentful, or like your needs aren’t being heard in your relationships, this episode will serve as help for you to start communicating in a way that creates more connection, more support, and more emotional safety.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave and Bloom, I’m sharing a simple but powerful shift that completely changed one of my client’s perspective and helped her begin healing before she even officially started coaching with me.I talk about how so many of us struggling with postpartum depression, anxiety, or overwhelm stay silent about what we’re really feeling. We hide our thoughts, suppress our emotions, and convince ourselves that if anyone knew the truth, they would judge us, think we’re failing, or see us differently.But healing starts when we stop hiding.Healing begins the moment I stop hiding how I truly feelWhen I finally say out loud what I’m really thinking and feeling, something shifts. The shame, fear, and anxiety lose their power when they’re no longer trapped in silence. Vulnerability is what opens the door to healing.Depression and anxiety want me isolated, but support is what helps me healSo many of us stay quiet because we’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or seen as a bad mom. But when I allow safe people to truly see me, I realize I’m not broken, I’m not crazy, and I don’t have to carry this alone.Feeling safe enough to be honest changes everythingThe moment I feel emotionally safe with someone, whether that’s a coach, a friend, or my partner, I can finally start processing what’s really happening underneath the overwhelm. And that safety creates hope, connection, and the ability to move forward.This episode is a reminder that I don’t have to stay silent to be strong. And that being brave enough to say “I’m not okay” may be the exact thing that starts changing everything.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave and Bloom, I’m opening up and sharing more of my personal story and what my healing journey has really looked like over the past few years.I take you back to some of the hardest seasons of my life, from becoming a young mom to five babies, to walking through severe postpartum depression and anxiety, to hitting some of the lowest points I’ve ever experienced. The moments where I felt like I was barely holding on and didn’t know how to keep going.My lowest moments were not the end, they were the beginning of my healingWhen I was in the depths of postpartum depression, anxiety, and feeling like I couldn’t keep going, I truly thought that was the end of me. But looking back, those moments were actually what led me to finally seek help, choose myself, and begin the healing that changed everything.Healing is messy, uncomfortable, and requires me to feel what I’ve been avoidingNo one prepares me for how hard healing actually is. It brings up grief, anger, confusion, and emotions I’ve suppressed for years. It can feel worse before it gets better, but that discomfort is part of releasing what was never meant to stay buried.When I choose to heal, I change everything… my motherhood, my marriage, and my lifeAs I began to love myself, process my pain, and rewire my patterns, everything around me started to shift. My relationships improved, my anxiety no longer controlled me, and I became the version of myself I always wanted to be. Healing didn’t just change me, it changed my entire life.This episode is a reminder that there is hope. That healing is possible. And that the version of me on the other side of this is stronger, more grounded, and more whole than I could have ever imagined.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave and Bloom, I’m talking about something so many moms are craving but don’t always know how to build. A village.I share what it really looks like to make friends after having a baby and why this season can feel so lonely and isolating. When everything shifts in motherhood, our friendships often shift too, and it can leave me wondering where I fit and how to find my people again.I don’t just need friends, I need the right village When I’m feeling lonely or overwhelmed in motherhood, it’s easy to reach for anyone just to feel less alone. But not every connection is meant to be my safe place. I need friends who truly see me, uplift me, and are dependable. The right village isn’t about quantity, it’s about alignment, safety, and genuine connection.Friendship in this season comes from proximity, values, and shared life The people I’m most likely to connect with are the ones already around me, in my everyday life. The moms at playgroups, church, coffee shops, or in my neighborhood. But deeper than proximity, real friendship is built on shared values and similar lifestyles. When we believe in similar things and live in similar rhythms, connection becomes natural and meaningful.I have to be brave enough to go first and build the relationships I want Friendships aren’t just going to show up at my door. I have to put myself out there. I have to send the text, start the conversation, invite someone in, and be willing to be seen. The village I’m craving is built through courage, consistency, and showing up, even when it feels uncomfortable.This episode is a reminder that the village I’m looking for is possible. And it starts with me being brave enough to build it.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave and Bloom, I’m talking about how my past is showing up in my motherhood in ways I didn’t even realize at first.I share how the emotions, triggers, and reactions I experience as a mom are often rooted in my childhood and the ways I learned to cope and survive. When I’m feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like I’m failing, that’s not the root. That’s the symptom of something deeper that needs my attention.My past is what’s shaping my triggers in motherhoodWhen I feel overwhelmed, reactive, anxious, or like I’m not enough, it’s not coming out of nowhere. It’s coming from my past. My childhood wounds, unmet needs, and survival patterns are showing up in how I respond to my kids and myself.I don’t go back to my past to stay stuck, I go back for awarenessI’m not revisiting my past to relive it or sit in the pain. I’m going back to gather information. To understand why I feel the way I feel, where my patterns come from, and what’s actually driving my reactions in motherhood.I heal and break cycles through remothering myself and repairing with my kidsHealing isn’t about being a perfect mom. It’s about giving myself what I didn’t receive and taking ownership when I mess up. When I repair, take responsibility, and create safety, I build a secure and loving relationship with my kids.This episode is a reminder that those feelings are not the problem. They’re the signal. And I have the ability to heal, grow, and create a safe, secure, and loving relationship with both myself and my children.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave & Bloom, I’m talking about confidence and why so many moms feel like they’ve lost it in motherhood.I share how anxiety is often the real reason behind that lack of confidence. When I’m living in a constant state of overwhelm, self-doubt, and pressure, it naturally suppresses who I truly am. I walk through how confidence isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about trusting myself, understanding where my anxiety is coming from, and learning how to move through it instead of letting it control me. I also talk about what it looks like to start stepping into the confident, empowered version of myself today, even if it feels uncomfortable at first.My anxiety is what’s suppressing my confidenceWhen I feel like I’m not enough, unsure, or constantly questioning myself, it’s not because I’ve lost my confidence. It’s because anxiety is taking over and keeping me stuck in fear and self-doubt.Confidence comes from trusting myself, not controlling everythingI don’t need to have everything figured out to feel confident. True confidence comes from knowing that no matter what happens, I can handle it and support myself through it.I rebuild confidence by doing the inner work and taking actionIt’s not just about healing the root of my anxiety. It’s also about stepping into the version of myself I want to be now, even when it feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave & Bloom, I’m going deeper into overwhelm and talking about what’s happening inside my body when I feel constantly stretched, reactive, and exhausted.I share how overwhelm isn’t something I can just mindset my way out of. It’s something my nervous system is holding onto, which is why I keep finding myself stuck in the same patterns no matter how hard I try.Overwhelm lives in my body, not just my thoughts.What I’m feeling isn’t just mental. My body is holding onto stress, pressure, and past patterns, which is why I can’t just “think my way out” of overwhelm.If I don’t regulate my body, I stay stuck in reactive patterns.When my nervous system is overwhelmed, I’m more likely to snap, shut down, or feel out of control. Regulation is what allows me to respond instead of react.Creating space for myself is not optional, it’s necessary.If I want to show up as a calm, present, and connected mom, I have to prioritize moments that support me too. That’s how I actually break the cycle of overwhelm.In this episode, I walk through why regulation matters, how my body responds to stress, and what it actually looks like to start creating space for myself so I can show up differently in motherhood.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave & Bloom, I'm breaking down my recent workshop, Overcoming Overwhelm for Postpartum Moms, into two parts. This episode will be part one. Today, I’m talking about overwhelm in motherhood and what’s really happening underneath it.I share how overwhelm isn’t just about everything on my plate. It’s often coming from deeper patterns, pressure, and beliefs that I’ve been carrying for years. I also talk about how overwhelm can quickly turn into resentment, disconnection, and feeling like I’m losing myself.Overwhelm in motherhood is deeper than my to do list. When I feel overwhelmed, it’s not just about everything I have to get done. It’s often rooted in deeper patterns, pressure, and beliefs about who I think I need to be as a mom.When I carry everything on my own, overwhelm turns into resentment. If I’m constantly giving, doing, and thinking for everyone without support, I start to feel disconnected, reactive, and unlike the mom I actually want to be.I don’t have to do it all to be a good mom. When I release unrealistic expectations and allow support in, I create space to feel more present, calm, and connected in motherhood.In this episode, I walk through how you can start to shift out of overwhelm by understanding where it’s coming from, releasing what isn’t yours to carry, and allowing yourself to receive support without guilt.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave & Bloom, I’m talking about something that many moms quietly feel but don’t always say out loud. Healing itself can feel overwhelming. When you’re already carrying the weight of motherhood, the idea of starting a healing journey can feel like one more thing on your plate.Healing can feel overwhelming because it requires real emotional change.When I start healing, I’m not just learning new tools. I’m finally sitting with emotions I may have avoided for years and acknowledging the root of why I feel the way I feel. That process can feel scary and overwhelming at first.Part of healing is creating a path that may look different from my family’s past.Sometimes the resistance to healing comes from the fear that I’m leaving people behind. When I grow, change patterns, or create a different life than what I was raised in, my nervous system can interpret that as loss even though I’m simply breaking generational cycles.Healing is overwhelming at first, but it ultimately creates freedom.While starting the healing journey can feel like adding one more thing to my plate, the truth is that healing actually gives me my time, peace, and presence back. It allows me to become the calm, connected, and regulated mom I’ve always wanted to be.Sometimes it’s not just the emotional work that feels hard. It’s the fear that as we grow, evolve, and create a different life, we might be leaving behind the patterns or paths our families once lived.In this episode, I talk about why healing can trigger these feelings, how breaking generational cycles naturally feels uncomfortable, and why choosing healing ultimately gives you back the peace, time, and connection you’ve been craving in motherhood.I also invite you to join my free Overcoming Overwhelm for Postpartum Moms Workshop on March 18th, where I’ll walk you through the roots of overwhelm and help you begin your healing journey in a supportive, guided way.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave & Bloom, I’m talking about how overwhelm in motherhood can quietly turn into resentment and why so many moms struggle with this. I share how the mental load of motherhood builds up over time, how resentment often comes from past wounds and patterns, and why trying to be the perfect mom can leave us feeling exhausted and disconnected. You will hear about how learning to release unrealistic expectations, asking for support, and reconnecting with what truly matters can help us move from overwhelm back into presence, peace, and joy with our children.Overwhelm in motherhood often turns into resentment.When I’m constantly carrying the mental load, doing everything for everyone, and feeling like the default parent, overwhelm builds up inside of me. Over time, that overwhelm can turn into resentment toward my kids, my partner, and even myself.Resentment usually comes from old wounds, not just current stress.When I feel resentment rising, it is often a past version of me showing up. It might be the part of me that had to grow up too fast, handle responsibilities alone, or didn’t feel supported growing up. Those old patterns resurface in motherhood when life feels overwhelming.Healing overwhelm starts with releasing unrealistic expectations.A lot of the pressure I feel comes from believing I have to be the perfect mom or do everything perfectly. When I start letting go of those expectations, asking for support, and focusing on connection with my kids instead of perfection, I create space for calm, regulation, and joy in motherhood. Details will be shared about my upcoming free workshop on March 18th, where I’ll be teaching how to overcome overwhelm in motherhood, understand the root of what you’re feeling, and learn tools to regulate your body, release resentment, and find yourself again in motherhood.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave & Bloom, I’m talking about what it really means to be the default parent and why it can feel so overwhelming. I share my personal journey of carrying the mental load in motherhood, how my healing helped me understand why I held onto control, and what shifted when I started allowing my husband to truly step in. We talk about the deeper patterns behind default parenting, how to begin transferring responsibilities, and the systems that can help create real partnership at home.Being the default parent is more than doing everything,  it’s carrying the mental load. I’m talking about the constant planning, remembering, scheduling, and emotional responsibility that lives in my mind all day long. That invisible load is what creates overwhelm, resentment, and exhaustion in motherhood.To stop being the default parent, I have to look at my patterns first. Before responsibilities can shift, I need to understand why I’ve been holding onto control. For many of us, control equals safety, and that belief often comes from past experiences or childhood patterns.Real partnership happens when I release control and create systems together. Transferring responsibilities means trusting my partner to do things differently than I would. When we divide categories, communicate clearly, and build simple systems, it creates trust, empowerment, and relief for both of us.If you’ve been feeling exhausted, resentful, or like everything falls on you, this episode will help you start creating more support, trust, and balance in your family.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave & Bloom, I’m sharing how writing a letter to my younger self became one of the most powerful tools in healing depression, anxiety, and emotional wounds. We talk about why healing doesn’t mean living in the past, how inner child work helps release patterns that keep us stuck, and how our triggers in motherhood can point us to what needs healing. I walk you through exactly how to do this exercise, including visualization and using your non-dominant hand to access deeper emotions. Healing depression means healing my past, not reliving it.I don’t go back to the past to stay stuck or play the victim. I use it as a healing tool to release patterns rooted in anxiety, depression, and emotional pain so I can move forward with clarity and freedom.Writing a letter to my younger self is a powerful healing tool. When I write to the version of me that was hurt, scared, or abandoned, I give her a voice and the love she didn’t receive. This creates safety in the body and begins real emotional healing.My triggers in motherhood point to what needs healing, not what’s wrong with me.When I feel reactive, overwhelmed, or overstimulated, it’s often connected to unmet needs from my own childhood. My emotions are signals, not my identity, and healing the root changes how I show up as a mother.If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or disconnected from the version of yourself you want to be, this episode is an invitation to begin healing with compassion, safety, and love.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

In this episode of Brave & Bloom, I’m talking about mom guilt and why it feels so heavy, especially when we’re doing our best. I share how guilt is often tied to past experiences, emotional patterns, and our inner child, not a reflection of our worth or love as mothers. We explore what it looks like to calm the nervous system, release guilt that doesn’t belong to us, and trust that our children are safe, loved, and supported even when we’re not doing everything ourselves. Mom guilt is not who I am. It’s an emotion I’m carrying.Mom guilt is often an interpretation of someone else’s emotions or a past version of myself. When I feel guilt, I’m usually carrying feelings that don’t actually belong to me in the present moment.Healing mom guilt starts with calming my inner child.To release guilt, I have to go inward, soothe the younger part of me, and remind my body that I am safe, loved, and enough. Regulating my nervous system allows guilt to soften instead of spiral.I can love my child deeply without carrying everything alone.My baby is safe, loved, and supported even when I’m not physically present. Allowing others to love my child doesn’t replace me. It strengthens our village and relieves unnecessary guilt.If mom guilt has been weighing on your heart, this episode is a gentle reminder that you are enough and you don’t have to carry it all alone.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

Have you ever felt broken in motherhood and wondered if you’ll ever feel whole again? In this episode of Brave & Bloom, I reframe brokenness through the lens of healing, using the art of kintsugi to show how our pain can be restored with compassion and purpose and turning it into beautiful and valuable. This conversation explores why anxiety and depression are not failures but signals, how past experiences shape our present struggles, and why true healing takes time, courage, and grace. If you’re longing to feel whole again, this episode is a reminder that you are not broken, you are becoming.You are not broken. You are becoming whole.Healing is not about fixing what’s wrong with you. Like kintsugi, wholeness is formed by gently repairing what has been broken with self-worth, compassion, and value.Symptoms are signals, not failures.Anxiety, depression, anger, and intrusive thoughts did not appear out of nowhere. They are responses to past pain and unmet needs, often rooted in early experiences, asking to be seen and healed.True healing takes time and courage.Becoming whole requires facing what has been avoided, allowing the pieces to be restored slowly, and giving yourself grace through the process. The version of you on the other side will be stronger and more grounded than before.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

Where do you start healing when you no longer feel like yourself in motherhood? In this episode of Brave & Bloom, I share where healing truly begins and why postpartum anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts are not failures, but signals from the body seeking safety. This conversation explores how mind, body, and soul work together to restore peace, presence, and self trust, and offers gentle, practical guidance for beginning your healing journey right where you are.Healing starts with the body.Postpartum anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts are not your fault. They are messages from a nervous system trying to protect you. Regulating the body comes before changing the mind.True healing requires mind, body, and soul alignment.You cannot heal one without the others. When the body feels safe, the mind can make sense of the experience, and the soul becomes accessible again.You are not broken. You are becoming.Even in survival mode, you are worthy, capable, and already enough. Healing begins with compassion, presence, and grace, not perfection.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie

It's easy to get stuck in your negative thoughts when the heaviness of your emotions take over your body, but as you begin your healing journey you are trying to figure out your triggers and the root cause of those emotions.While the focus of those triggers are important, you can't forget to see the good, or the abundance that is already in front or has been in front of you all along...That's when the shift happens, when your hope reappears.

Contention with your baby or child isn't to make you angry or rageful, it is your child seeking connection.
