This is your sign to let her “help.” 🥹
Yeah, it’s messier.
Takes longer.
You’ll probably rewash that cutting board.
But letting her in is the point.
It’s how we pass on more than just habits — it’s how we teach presence, nourishment, and how to be at home in your body.
This video is from 2 years ago and now that she is talking regularly- I can verify this is still one of our favorite ways to spend time together - cooking in the kitchen together.
And I know that wouldn't have been possible before I used nervous system tools to help reset my overwhelm and overstimulation.
Toddlers have a very different pace than us driven moms - knowing how to slow down doesn't come natural for us. I had to learn- still do.
But looking back at videos like this when I did slow down and how much bigger she is now confirms for me how vital integrated wellness is for moms.
If you’re craving rhythms that actually feel good for both of you… DM me “ALIGN” and I’ll send you something that can help.
