This week's episode:

If you've ever wanted to scream into a pillow, shake out your whole body, or hide in the car just to feel something move through you, you are not broken. You are just finally listening to what your nervous system has been asking for all along.

On this week's episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm sharing a workshop I ran inside the More Yourself membership, where we go a little deeper into topics like this together, alongside guest experts and ongoing connection with other neurodivergent women.

This episode is all about regulation, both ours and our children's, and why the small, consistent tweaks matter so much more than any big overhaul. We talk about identifying what's quietly dysregulating us before we even notice it, why co-regulating with our kids starts with regulating ourselves first, and why so many of us, especially as women, were never taught how to safely let emotion move through our bodies. I share some of the somatic tools I lean on, including EFT, and a few honest, real-life examples of what this can look like in practice.

In this episode, we cover:

Why self regulation always comes before co-regulating your children
How to identify your own dysregulation triggers, from sleep and hydration to screen time
Why small, consistent tweaks matter more than big overhauls
How to talk to your child about big emotions once things have calmed down
The hidden impact of constant phone notifications and micro-interruptions on your nervous system
Why so many women have been conditioned to suppress their voice and emotions
Using EFT and tapping as a release tool for emotional dysregulation
Somatic ways to release stuck emotion, including shaking, dancing, singing and screaming
Why giving your child a safe space to release big feelings matters
The importance of self compassion and validating your own experience
