The Juggle is Real Regulate, Respond, Repair: Parenting Through a Nervous System Lens with Kathryn Flynn
In this episode, Andryanna is joined by Kathryn Flynn, Registered Psychotherapist, yoga educator, and founder of The Wren Centre: Therapy for All Ages. Known for her warm, integrative approach, Kathryn helps individuals feel safe in their bodies, achieve emotional balance, and parent from a place of connection rather than perfection. Along with her academic qualifications, Kathryn also draws from somatic therapy and Eastern wisdom traditions—such as Ayurveda, yoga philosophy, and Buddhist teachings.
Together, they unpack the nervous system’s role in parenting—especially in a modern world when we’re navigating our own healing and raising emotionally complex (and often dysregulated) children. From co-regulation to sensory mismatches to practical repair after rupture, this episode is packed with compassionate insight and actionable strategies.
How the nervous system responds in stressful parenting moments
The difference between co-regulation and self-regulation
What attunement looks like—and how we can practice it
Real-life tools for rupture and repair when things go off the rails
Whether you’re a mom who’s read all the parenting books but still loses it when your kids push your buttons, or you’re simply seeking a gentler way to show up for yourself and your family, this one’s for you.
