342 - 5 Signs You’re Parenting in Fight-or-Flight—and How to Shift Out of Survival Mode

You love your kids. But lately? You feel irritated, overstimulated, and straight-up overwhelmed. 

This isn’t just “normal mom stress.”

You’re likely parenting from survival mode—with a nervous system stuck in overdrive.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the 5 signs that you're parenting in fight-or-flight—and what to do when the chaos feels constant and your patience is MIA.

We’re talking about: 

• The nervous system patterns behind overstimulation, urgency, and disconnection
• Why you feel guilty for resting (and how to rewire that belief)
• Small, doable shifts to get out of fight-or-flight (even when your kids are climbing the walls)

Because it’s not just about getting through the day.

It’s about feeling grounded, present, and actually liking the life you’re building.

You and your kiddos deserve that.
