Big changes are tough for sensitive kids — even the exciting ones. And without meaning to, we sometimes make those transitions harder by over-preparing, over-explaining, or hyping things up in hopes it will make them easier.

Whether it’s a move, a new sibling, or a big end-of-year transition, sensitive kids feel every ripple. And sometimes, the more we prep or talk about what's coming, the bigger those emotions grow.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what actually helps: the steady, low-pressure steps that give sensitive kids the safety and confidence they need to handle big shifts. If your child struggles with change, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

If mornings with your sensitive child feel like an emotional rollercoaster — one wrong move and everything spirals — you’re definitely not alone. Maybe they wake up already grumpy, refuse to get dressed, or melt down over something tiny. You start the day exhausted before it even begins.

In this episode, we’ll talk about why mornings go off the rails so often with sensitive kids — and why your best efforts to stay calm, be logical, or “just get through it” don’t always work. I’ll share 3 key reasons behind those chaotic mornings that might surprise you.

Then we’ll get into what you can do — 3 simple, connection-focused shifts that help you move from walking on eggshells to starting the day on the same team. Because even the hardest mornings can become moments of growth and connection.

If your child has ever completely melted down over something tiny — like the wrong cup, the favorite shirt that’s in the wash, or in my case this week… hair clips — this episode is going to feel very familiar. Because it’s never really about the thing, even though it really feels like it in the moment.

I’m sharing a real morning from my own house — one that reminded me how quickly I can slip into trying to fix or prevent instead of pausing and seeing what’s actually going on underneath the reaction. Even with all the tools, that pull is still strong.

So if you’ve ever wondered, “Why are we melting down over something so small?” — this episode will help you start to see these moments differently, and remember where our influence and power truly live as parents.

We all dream of the day our kids can handle their big feelings with ease—when their emotions don’t rule the day, and they can take life’s bumps in stride. But how do kids actually get there?

In this episode, we’re diving into what helps children truly build emotional regulation skills—and spoiler alert—it’s probably not what you think. There’s a missing piece in the way most of us imagine emotional growth, and once you understand it, everything about those tricky moments starts to make more sense.

Join me as we explore what’s really behind a child’s ability to stay calm, bounce back, and handle life’s ups and downs—because this one shift changes how you see every emotional moment that unfolds in your home.

This week’s episode features Lesley, a mom whose parenting journey took some unexpected (and beautiful) turns. When she first joined the program, she was a single mom navigating intense meltdowns with her 5-year-old daughter—big emotions, hurtful words, and all the overwhelm that came with them.

Just days after deciding to join, life surprised her with an engagement—and suddenly, she was preparing not only to find more peace at home but also to blend a new family. Through the program, Lesley learned how to handle her daughter’s meltdowns with more connection, calm, and understanding, even as so much in her life was changing.

Her story is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t wait for the “perfect time.” Sometimes, it happens right in the middle of big transitions—and that’s exactly what makes it so transformative.

Have you ever tried to explain something perfectly clearly to your child—only to be met with tears, frustration, or a complete meltdown? It feels like the more sense we try to make, the less sense it actually makes to them.

That’s because when kids are emotionally activated, logic goes right out the window. Their brains simply can’t take in reasoning in those heated moments, no matter how convincing or calm we think we’re being.

In this episode, we’ll dig into why logic doesn’t work when emotions take over, what’s really going on in your child’s brain, and how to respond in a way that brings more connection (and a lot less power struggle).

This week, I’m sharing one of those small-but-big parenting moments: my 4-year-old daughter learning to ride her two-wheel bike. It was both ordinary and magical, watching her step into something brand new with so much determination.

I’d spent time preparing her for what it feels like to learn something new—the ups, the wobbles, and even the possibility of frustration. When the moment finally came, all of that groundwork quietly guided what happened next.

Sometimes, our job isn’t to guide every step—it’s to nurture, plant the seeds, and then step back so our kids can discover what they’re truly capable of. This was one of those moments I’ll never forget.

We’ve all heard the advice: “Just stay calm when your child is melting down.” But if you’ve ever tried it, you know it’s not that simple—and there’s a reason for that.

In this episode, we’re unpacking why staying calm can feel so hard in the moment, what’s really going on inside us when our kids are overwhelmed, and what makes a difference in finding our way back.

It’s not about perfection—it’s about something much more powerful that can change the way we show up for our kids (and ourselves) when things get tough.
