The Pals sit down with Kate Kripke, psychotherapist, author, and founder of the Postpartum Wellness Center of Boulder, to talk about all things motherhood, anxiety, and the nervous system.

From postpartum worries to everyday mom guilt, Kate helps us unpack why our kids’ emotions are often a reflection of our own because, as she explains, our children borrow our nervous systems.

Whether you’re in the thick of early motherhood or navigating big kid chaos, this conversation reminds us that taking care of ourselves is taking care of our kids.

In this episode of The Pudding Pals Podcast, we cover:

• Why your child’s behavior might mirror your stress

• What it means for kids to “borrow your nervous system”

• How to regulate your emotions (and theirs)

• Postpartum anxiety—does it ever really end?

• Tools for finding calm in the chaos

Hosts: Danielle Marco, Jordyn Siegel, Stephanie Golditch, Heather Frimmer. Alexxa Corben
