Ever totally lost it over laundry on the floor? Or snapped at your teen because they rolled their eyes and you were already hanging by a thread?
Yeah. Me too.
This week on Parenting Shrink Wrapped, Melissa and I break down what’s really going on in those moments—and introduce my favorite metaphor for staying calm and connected when parenting gets stormy. 🌩️
We talk:
⚡ When your nervous system takes over your parenting
🌤️ How to use “Sky Mind” vs. “Storm Mind”
🧠 Why presence beats panic (even when it’s really hard)
❤️ How to ask: “What does this moment need from me?”

👂 DM me if the Sky Mind metaphor resonates with you
