Episode 128

Send us a textIn this episode of the Leadership Parenting Podcast, I’m talking about something almost every mom experiences but rarely feels safe admitting: moments when your emotions feel so big that you wonder, “What is wrong with me?”I explain why this happens from a nervous system perspective, how chronic stress and emotional load shrink our ability to regulate, and why big emotions are not a sign of weakness — they are actually your body’s stress signature calling for care, safety, and compassion.Then I guide you through a simple, science-backed 3-step reset you can use anywhere — in your kitchen, your car, your bathroom, or your bed — to bring yourself out of emotional overwhelm and back into calm, grounded presence.This episode is for any mom who feels like she’s carrying too much, feeling too much, and trying too hard to “hold it together.” You are not broken. You are overloaded. And this episode will show you how to meet yourself with gentleness instead of judgmentIf you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com
