Making small shifts towards regulating your nervous system can produce huge wins.

We can’t always avoid the stimuli but we can support our brain and body through it.

This is an ongoing practice that requires self-reflection, self-compassion, and a commitment to personal growth.

It takes time and effort, but the rewards are significant in fostering a healthy relationships and promoting the well-being of yourself and your family. If you want that, the first place too start is with awareness. And where do you obtain that awareness? Within my Battling Burnout Course.

Bilateral music is music that gently shifts from one ear to the ear.

We are designed to orient towards sounds.

Because of this, the two hemispheres of the brain begin to interact.

This gentle activation of the body’s vestibular system causes non-invasive calming of the limbic brain.

Therefore, music can be calming for your nervous system—specifically called 8D, which you can find playlists on Spotify or YouTube.

This type of strategy and so many other techniques are possible. But we need to be able to find specific regulation strategies that work for YOU.

But first, you must understand your sensory triggers, so we can support them in real-time when they happen, or even before…

So often, parents don’t realize our behaviors all stem from our nervous system. We either seek, or avoid.

These particular behaviors demonstrate sensitivity to certain stimuli, which I attempt to regulate with coping strategies.

Make sense?

What if I told you, YOU could understand your brain at a sensory level? What if I told you you could learn how to support your individual brain rather than shame your behavior or “weirdness?”

It’s doable! And it’s life-changing. For the better.

Comment I WANT TO REGULATE if you are ready to learn this type of info and so much more! I’d love nothing more than to support you!

Auditory stimuli such as vent fans, hand dryers, or loud toilets can drive you up the wall.

Especially at the end of a very long day and your last task is dinner.

But they can also be scary for your kids.

The cooking. The vent fan. The tv. The toys. The crying.

It all might just put you or your kiddos over the edge. And what happens next?

You snap or they meltdown.

Not because you hate your kids and family. And not because your kids what want to drive you up the wall with another meltdown. But because the nervous system is DONE.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

If you are tired of the overstimulation and ready to find peace and calm within your home, or you have a child that struggles and you want to support them in the best way possible, comment I WANT THAT, and I’ll DM you to see if we can help!

Here for you!

Tactile sensitivity???

Clothing. Sheets. Hand holding. Massages. Even kissing.

Allll a part of the tactile sensation.

And how regulated you are for sure has a lot to do with touch and sensitivity.

It’s all part of what makes up our sensory system.

tactile hypersensitivity occurs because the brain pays too much attention to light touch and protective sensations from the skin.

Instead of listening to the extra information available from the discriminative pathway, the brain keeps paying attention to the light touch and protective sensations.

Curious. How many of you struggle with tactile sensitivity?!?

Would love to know in the comments below.

And send this to a friend who may find this interesting!!

Boundaries are a hard one in parenthood. You look at their cute faces. The tears possibly rolling down their face. Your heart breaks, and you cave. I get it. Trust me—more than you know. But setting boundaries and remaining consistent is what their brains need. They need us to be strong and remain in the driver’s seat. This will allow their brain to grow, learn, and understand what is required of them. I know it can be challenging and uncomfortable, but consistency is critical. Through neuro sensory parenting we can support both emotional and logical sides of child’s brain. You’ve got this.

Unlocking Your Parenting Potential: The Power of Parent Coaching

Parenting is one of life's most rewarding and challenging journeys. As children grow and develop, parents face a myriad of decisions, dilemmas, and uncertainties. While there's no one-size-fits-all manual for raising children, parent coaching has emerged as a valuable resource to help parents navigate the complexities of parenthood. In this article, we'll explore what parent coaching is, its benefits, and how it can transform the way parents approach their roles.

What Is Parent Coaching?

Parent coaching is a professional service that provides guidance and support to parents in their journey to become more effective, confident, and fulfilled parents. Coaches work with parents to identify goals, challenges, and areas for improvement within their parenting practices. They then develop strategies and techniques tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of each family.

Key Elements of Parent Coaching:

Goal-Oriented Approach: Parent coaching focuses on setting specific, achievable goals. Whether it's managing tantrums, improving communication, or establishing routines, coaches help parents clarify what they want to achieve.

Empowerment: Coaches empower parents by providing them with tools, knowledge, and skills to make informed decisions and overcome challenges independently.

Supportive Environment: Parent coaching provides a non-judgmental, confidential space for parents to express their concerns, fears, and frustrations without fear of criticism.

Evidence-Based Techniques: Coaches rely on evidence-based strategies and principles of child development to guide their coaching sessions, ensuring that advice is rooted in sound research.

Accountability: Coaches help parents stay on track by setting milestones and holding them accountable for making progress toward their goals.

Benefits of Parent Coaching

Improved Parent-Child Relationship: Parent coaching helps parents develop more meaningful and positive relationships with their children by fostering effective communication and understanding.

Reduced Stress: By equipping parents with tools to handle challenging situations, parent coaching reduces parental stress, anxiety, and feelings of overwhelm.

Enhanced Parenting Skills: Parents learn evidence-based techniques and strategies that improve their parenting skills, leading to better outcomes for their children.

Increased Confidence: As parents see positive changes in their family dynamics, their confidence in their parenting abilities grows.

Customized Solutions: Parent coaching provides personalized solutions tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of each family, ensuring that strategies are effective and sustainable.

Who Can Benefit from Parent Coaching?

Parent coaching is beneficial for parents at all stages of their parenting journey, from first-time parents to those with teenagers. It can address a wide range of parenting challenges, including:

Behavioral Issues: Tantrums, defiance, and other challenging behaviors. Communication: Improving communication between parents and children. Family Transitions: Navigating divorce, blended families, or other significant life changes. Education and Development: Supporting children's academic progress and developmental milestones. Parenting Styles: Exploring different parenting styles and finding what works best for each family. Conclusion

Parenting is a journey filled with joys and challenges, and parent coaching offers a valuable roadmap to help parents navigate this path more effectively. By focusing on goal setting, empowerment, and evidence-based strategies, parent coaching equips parents with the tools they need to build stronger, healthier relationships with their children and experience the joys of parenthood to the fullest. If you're a parent looking to enhance your parenting skills and create a more harmonious family life, consider exploring the benefits of parent coaching – it could be the transformative experience you've been seeking.

There are many ways to regulate your nervous system.

The key to regulating your nervous system is to find what feels best and right for YOU.

Another key is to figuring out what FITS into your life.

Finding a quick fix exercise challenge or a recreational one time program may take the edge off but it’s not going to regulate you long term.

This has to become part of your life. You have to live and breathe regulation. Unapologetically giving your brain and body what it needs.

IF YOU HAVE A BRAIN you must give this to yourself.

We all matter. We have to work together as a team to make sure we are all taken care of. Support one another when we have the bandwidth. Hold boundaries when we don’t.

But this my friends is the #1 key to mental health.

Awareness of how your brain functions. Acceptance for your individual brain. And commitment to brain growth in areas you feel need it.

I am here to support you through all of that. Honestly, it doesn’t even have to be me. Just find someone you trust. Someone you feel safe enough to do this work with.

And START NOW.

Stop waiting for other day to pass you by.

Comment I WANT THAT LIFE if you are ready to change your life.

Find brain health and enjoy your life.

Cause you are so damn worth it.

This is a hard one.

WHY?

Cause I want you to know you are a fantastic person. And an incredible parent.

But. (I know I always have a but.)

But I’m here to give you the real about life, parenthood, and our brain.

Sugar coating won’t help anyone. And this world needs a hell of a lot of support and help at the moment.

Listen. What I’m trying to say is if you are dysregulated, you can’t give your children the consistent presence they NEED to support the emotional safety required at their age.

THEY NEED TO FEEL THIS.

Most of my clients feel they didn’t get this growing up. And most say they want to do differently than their parents did.

So, where does that start? WITH YOU.

It starts with you trusting and believing within yourself that you can GIFT yourself this work.

Give yourself the gift of support. Take the steps to learn HOW to regulate your own brain and body. FEEEEEL how incredible it feels to live in a state of regulation and then pass this work on to your children.

So we can all grow into regulation as a generation and support our children in this life as well.

It’s time for a change. Are you ready?

If so, comment I’M READY, and I will DM you to see what's going on.

ARE YOU READ TO THRIVE?

Trust me, I’ve got you. Cause I F*ing care. More than you could ever know.

Let's talk about the superpower of emotional regulation in our parenting journey! 🧡 As we navigate the beautiful rollercoaster of parenthood, one thing stands true: our ability to regulate emotions directly impacts how well we co-regulate with our little ones.

💡 Co-regulation? It's like a dance between parent and child! When we maintain emotional balance, we create a safe and nurturing space for our kids to explore and express their feelings. Here's why this matters:

1️⃣ Role Model: Monkey see, monkey do! 🐒 Our children learn from us, so when they see us handling emotions with grace, they're more likely to follow suit. Let's show them the way to emotional strength and resilience!

2️⃣ Safety Net: When we're steady, our kiddos feel secure. By staying composed during challenging times, we become their safe haven and teach them that emotions are okay—always!

3️⃣ Solving Superstars: Emotionally balanced parents make excellent problem-solvers! 🌟 When we're not overwhelmed by our feelings, we can help our little ones work through their emotions and find solutions together.

4️⃣ Empathy Unleashed: We all want our kids to feel heard and understood, right? When we regulate our emotions, we respond with empathy, strengthening the bond we share with our mini-me's. 🤝

So, let's embrace the power of emotional regulation! 🌈 Remember, we're all a work in progress, and that's totally okay. 💕

And if you are seeking support to increase the connection within your family, and home comment I WANT THAT, and I will DM you to see what’s going on.

Let's talk about a topic that's all too common but rarely discussed openly: self-shaming in parenthood.

It's time to shed some light on this issue because, trust us, we've all been there! But remember, it's okay to struggle, and we're here to support each other through it.

So often, we feel the pressure to be perfect parents, ticking off all the boxes society expects from us.

But guess what?

Perfection doesn't exist, and it's okay to have ups and downs on this rollercoaster ride called parenthood!

When we constantly shame ourselves for not being "good enough" parents, it takes a toll on our mental and emotional well-being.

Resentment and burnout become lurking shadows, impacting our precious bond with our little ones. We deserve better, and so do they!

Let's break free from the self-shaming chains and choose self-compassion instead!

It's time to create a safe space where we can open up about our struggles without judgment. We're all in this together!

If you are ready for that safe space, THRIVE my LIVE group program is just the place for you. Comment, I WANT THAT, and I will DM you to see if this is right for you.

Staying calm, cool, and collected is so hard.

It is hard to show up calm when your kids are tantruming and you are spent after an entire day of work.

Or show up for the meltdown while you are in the middle of cooking dinner.

You feel like an octopus 24/7 with zero end in sight.

But what if you could feel so in control of yourself? The ability to show up for yourself and your children in real-time when it matters most.

You can have that. Your children can have that. And you are so worthy of that.

Co-regulating with our littles does take some time and practice, but I promise you can get there.

And if you want that, it starts with you. The ability to commit to yourself and decide it’s time for a change.

If you are ready for that change, give me a HELL YEAH in the comments below, and I will DM you!

It’s time to feel exactly the way you are wanting in life. Cause you matter. Yes, YOU! Thrive Like a Mother

[drbrookeweinstein]

Smiling and exchanging pleasantries with others in the carpool line.

But deep down, you know that wearing that smile is an attempt to find your "old self" again, to feel whole once more.

Are you exhausted from constantly telling yourself that things will get better if you keep pushing forward? If you keep up the facade?

Is the act of smiling when all you want to do is cry becoming too much to bear?

If this resonates with you, there's a safe space waiting for you.

A place where you can learn all the tools you'll EVER need to rediscover self-love, embrace life again, and truly THRIVE. DM me "THRIVE" to learn more about my LIVE program, THRIVE like a Mother!
