Why do you lose your cool even when you know better?

In this episode, Kelli breaks down the real reason parents snap — and it’s not anger, impatience, or a lack of self-control. It’s your nervous system reacting faster than your intentions.

Using a real-life parenting moment, Kelli explains how overwhelm, pushback, and stress can spill over onto the wrong child — and why awareness and repair matter more than staying calm.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why did I react like that?” — this episode will bring clarity, relief, and a better way forward.

In this solo episode, Kelli breaks down the science of emotions—what they are, how they show up in the body, and why they’re not something to fix but something to feel. You’ll learn the six core emotions, how the nervous system plays a role, and what it actually looks like to process instead of suppress. This is your foundational guide to feeling... well, human. 💜

In this episode, Dr. Rachael Kuperus, pediatric chiropractor and family wellness expert, joins me to talk all things nervous system regulation—from colic and bonding to feeding, digestion, behavior, and emotional resilience. We unpack how chiropractic care gently supports babies (and the whole family!), why early intervention matters, and how empowered parenting starts with trusting your gut. Whether you’re a brand-new parent or navigating toddlerhood, this conversation is full of insight and reassurance.

Bonnie Holt Logsdon—dietitian, lactation consultant, doula, and founder of Bonnie Knows Breast—joins us to share what new parents really need after baby arrives. We talk about why breastfeeding support often comes too late, what to know before your baby is even born, and how to build the village modern parenting forgot. Bonnie’s warmth, wisdom, and experience will leave you feeling seen and supported—no matter how you feed your baby. 💜

Dr. Kelly Kremer, pediatric physical therapist and founder of Kremer Therapy Services, joins us to talk purposeful play, early milestones, and how parents can build confidence by tuning into their child’s unique development. If you’ve ever wondered “Is this normal?”—this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Arielle “Ace” Eugene—Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Full Spectrum Doula, and founder of Ancient Roots—to talk about how ancestral practices like baby wearing, holistic nutrition, and nervous system support can help modern parents feel more grounded and connected.
