EP:155 Hey y’all, it’s Dr. B! In this episode, I’m getting real about the rollercoaster of emotions and sensory overload that comes with the back-to-school transition—for both our kids and ourselves. I share my own journey as a parent, from craving structure to embracing the beautiful chaos of summer, and how I’ve learned to support my children (and myself) through big changes. We dive into why our brains crave routine, how to spot sensory struggles in your kids, and practical ways to create a sensory safe zone at home and advocate for one at school. I also talk about prepping for smoother mornings, building in calming rituals, and the power of repair and self-compassion when things don’t go as planned. Remember, it’s okay to give yourself grace—these first few weeks are all about support, not perfection. If you found this episode helpful, please share it with a fellow parent, leave a review, and let me know your favorite back-to-school tip! Let’s make this school year a little smoother, together. #BackToSchool #ParentingTips #SensorySupport #RoutineMatters #ThriveLikeAParent #ParentingPodcast #EmotionalWellness #FamilyRoutines #BrookeWeinstein #SchoolTransition Links & Resources: 📘 Check out more episodes of Thrive Like a Parent - https://drbrookeweinstein.com/thrive-podcast/ 📸 Follow Dr. B on Instagram -   https://bit.ly/48VZI5e   🌐 Visit our website for more resources on self-care and well-being - https://drbrookeweinstein.com

EP:154 Hey Thrive Community!   As a solo parent, I know firsthand how hard it can be to juggle all the roles—provider, nurturer, chef, chauffeur, and more—while still trying to find moments for myself. In this episode, I open up about the emotional rollercoaster of sending my kids to camp for a month, the grief and relief that come with having time alone, and the pride I feel watching my children grow and thrive in new environments. I share my truth about the challenges of solo parenting, the importance of honoring the hard moments, and why it’s okay to admit that this journey isn’t always easy. If you’re a parent who sometimes feels overwhelmed or alone, I hope my story reminds you that your feelings are valid and you’re not alone.

EP:153 Hey Thrive Community! In this episode of the Thrive Like a Parent Podcast, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my unforgettable road trip with Carter. From spontaneous adventures through Santa Fe, Taos, Estes Park, and Crested Butte, to hiking breathtaking trails and even buying my dream vintage 1979 Ford Bronco (hello, Sally Joy Ride!), this journey was all about stepping out of my comfort zone, reconnecting with nature, and finding new ways to regulate and recharge. I open up about the challenges and joys of traveling without a set itinerary, the magic of seeing wildlife in the Rockies, and the importance of making space for adventure and healing—especially as a solo parent, business owner, and someone on a lifelong journey of growth. Plus, I share how these experiences brought Carter and me closer, and why it’s so vital to pause, reflect, and truly enjoy the ride. If you want the full itinerary of our road trip—where we ate, stayed, and explored—drop a comment or sign up for my newsletter!

EP:148 Hey there! In this episode, I'm getting real about the challenges of being a mom, managing family expectations, and learning to prioritize myself. My son Eli's baseball journey threw me into a whirlwind of decisions this summer. I had to choose between a family vacation and supporting his All-Stars team, which wasn't easy. I'm sharing my raw experience of feeling pulled between family demands, my children's needs, and my own mental health. Those moments of people-pleasing? I've been there, and I'm done with letting others' opinions dictate my choices. This episode is all about the courage it takes to set boundaries, make tough decisions, and stay true to yourself. I'll walk you through how I navigated this crazy month - from juggling my in-laws' visit, a quick family trip, Eli's tournament, and camp preparations. It's a vulnerable look at how I'm learning to regulate my emotions, make decisions that serve me and my family, and stop trying to make everyone else happy at my own expense. And bonus? I'm introducing our new Regulation Reset Collective and our first mini-course on people-pleasing.

EP:147 Hey there! In this episode, I'm diving deep into something that changed my life completely - the difference between external and internal regulation. Let me tell you, for years I was that person constantly seeking validation from everyone around me, putting myself last, and feeling frustrated when no one could read my mind. I'm sharing my personal journey of how I transformed from constantly seeking external permission to becoming my own biggest supporter. We'll explore how external regulation looks like constantly waiting for your partner to notice you're exhausted, or feeling angry when your kids don't magically understand your needs. Sound familiar? The game-changer? Learning to check in with MYSELF. What do I feel? What do I need? And most importantly, recognizing that I'm worthy of taking care of myself - not because someone else says so, but because I say so. I'll walk you through practical steps to start your internal regulation journey, share vulnerable stories from my own life, and help you understand that you have everything you need to support your own nervous system. Start your internal regulation journey today! Pause right now and ask yourself: "How am I feeling? What do I need?" #ThrivelikeaParent #InternalRegulation #SelfCare #MentalHealthJourney #parentingtips  Can't wait to hear how this resonates with you!
