Even if your child’s behaviour is triggering your emotions, those feelings are yours to hold, not your child’s.

Example: “I’m feeling really frustrated right now and it’s making it hard for me to communicate. I just need a minute to reconnect with myself.”

If you’re sitting here going… “yeah but how do they know what they did was wrong?”

They will understand, when they are mature enough. But before you collaborate with your child to find a solution, you need to check-in with yourself. When we take the time to check-in and connect with ourself before we try to make sense of the situation, we’re more likely to respond, instead of react.

What if my child is continuing to hit me or someone else? This is tough because both nervous systems are in sympathetic. You can meet both your needs with a co-regulation strategy that uses force. I like the “push me over game.” I put my palms up and brace myself and my child uses only their palms to try and push me over; highly effective nervous system reset. You can also try to push against a wall if another person is not available.

Hey ladies! Are you feeding tired? Moody? Thinning hair? Feeling depressed? It might be your hormones!

Balancing your hormones can greatly impact your mental health. Some women can resolve or reduce symptoms by balancing their gut microbiome and/or changing their diet. Some women may need hormone replacement therapy.

Both synthetic and bio identical hormones can restore balance, but they’re not the same. Balancing hormones can be very tricky! It’s important to discuss your concerns with an experienced professional.

Wondering if hormones might be a root cause of your mental health challenges? Want to know if hormone therapy is right for you? Schedule a free consultation to learn more about your treatment options.

An angry child isn’t a “bad” child — they’re often hurt, scared, or overwhelmed.❤️‍🩹

The moment you choose to face what’s been avoided — to feel what generations before you couldn’t — everything begins to change.

Because pain doesn’t vanish on its own.

It waits. It lingers in silence, in tension, in the way we love and protect…

Until someone — you — decides the pattern stops here.

Healing isn’t loud or dramatic.
It’s the pause before you repeat what once hurt you.
It’s the breath you take before you respond differently this time.
It’s the moment you offer your child the gentleness you never received.

That’s how the cycle breaks — quietly, courageously, and one choice at a time.

Your children may never know the weight you’ve lifted, but they’ll feel it —
in the peace of your presence,
in the calm of your voice,
in the love that no longer carries pain.

And one day, when they move through life with a little more ease, they’ll be living proof that the healing was never just for you. ❤️
