You know that moment where your kid says or does something, your nervous system spikes, and every parenting thing you’ve ever learned disappears from your brain…

Today we’re talking about the huge gap between what we know about calm parenting and what actually comes out when we’re tired, stressed, and triggered.

I’m joined by Dr. Alissa Jerud—clinical psychologist, DBT expert, and author of Emotion-Savvy Parenting.

Dr. Jerud blends gold-standard, evidence-based tools with respectful parenting so you can stop white-knuckling your reactions and start leading with grounded emotional skill.

In this episode, we’re diving into:

• The “knowing vs. doing” gap in motherhood
  Why even the most trained parents lose access to their tools under stress—and what shifts when you stop trying to control your child and start regulating yourself.
  
  
• The ART framework: Accept, Regulate, Tolerate
  How to accept emotions without judgment, understand the real “ingredients” behind your reactions, and work with triggers, thoughts, and vulnerabilities so you’re less likely to snap.
  
  
• What to do when anger hijacks your system
  How to feel anger without exploding, use distress-tolerance skills to dial it down, and choose actions that align with the parent you want to be.

This conversation is for you if you’ve ever thought, “I should know better by now,” but your reactions aren’t matching the mom you want to be. You’ll walk away with language, lenses, and practical tools you can use in real time… even on the messy days.

What if the real reason you’re exhausted isn’t your schedule… but the boundaries you don’t even realize you’re breaking?

If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, stretched thin, reactive, or like you’re carrying more than your share (mentally, emotionally, logistically)… this episode is the missing piece.

Because high-capacity women don’t burn out from weakness.

They burn out from misaligned boundaries — the subtle, invisible ones you don’t see until your energy is already leaking everywhere.

And once you understand these four boundary categories, you’ll finally see:

✨ why you feel overextended even when you “should” be fine
✨ where your bandwidth disappears
✨ the patterns that pull you out of regulation
✨ why your emotional labor keeps creeping up
✨ and the exact boundaries you need to rebuild next

This is one of the most important conversations I’ve ever recorded for high-achieving women who want to feel calm, grounded, and in control of their energy again.

If you’ve been trying to “manage stress,” “be more disciplined,” or “get organized” — and it still feels like you’re running on fumes — press play. This is the episode you’ve been needing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The 4 misaligned boundaries that drain nearly every high-capacity woman
• Why overwhelm is not a time-management problem
• How your nervous system determines your boundaries long before your mind does
• The subtle ways you leak energy without noticing
• The boundary category that most high-achieving women neglect
• The exact places to start if you want more time, more bandwidth, and more ease

What if the most powerful version of you isn’t the one who does more — but the one who gets crystal clear on what truly matters…

and stops leaking energy on everything that doesn’t?

Today’s episode is a grounded, science-backed reframe of overwhelm — not as a time problem, but as a capacity problem.

When you understand what’s actually happening inside your nervous system, everything shifts: your clarity, your presence, your patience, your ability to breathe again.

Inside, we’ll cover:

• ✔️ The physiology of overwhelm (and why it hits without warning)
• ✔️ Who you become when your nervous system finally gets the support it’s been asking for
• ✔️ The one-minute somatic reset that expands your capacity fast
• ✔️ Why honoring your energy is the first step toward feeling like yourself again

Honor Your Energy, my 7-day nervous system + boundaries reset, is open for a few more days at the Founder Rate. It’s the most powerful next step if you’re ready to stop running past your bandwidth and rebuild your capacity from the inside out.
