Understanding your child’s emotions is important.
But understanding alone doesn’t create change.

In fact, for some kids, too much emotional engagement without the right kind of structure increases anxiety, a major cause of meltdowns.

What helps kids settle isn’t always more explanation or validation.
It’s a parent who can attune to their child’s needs, and who can stay calm, hold boundaries, and lead when emotions run high.

That’s the work I teach inside Awakened Motherhood — and I’m breaking it down in my upcoming free live workshop:
Four Steps from Emotional Overwhelm to Peaceful Connection

Did you know that big emotions shut down the part of the brain that can think logically or problem-solve?

That means when your kiddo is freaking out because they can’t find their favorite pants to wear to school,
And you’re freaking out because you’re going to be late to a meeting,
They can’t hear your logical solutions.

The real work to resolve outbursts and power struggles happens outside the moment — by changing the pattern, not managing the crisis.

From an amazing chat with a former client who graduated my Awakened Motherhood Program last year…

“My desire to protect my spouse’s feelings had me backed so far into a corner I couldn’t remember how to make myself happy without it feeling just plain wrong.

I thought I knew how. Before kids, before this relationship changed me.

When I finally got tired of settling for the hollowness of propping other people up, of hypervigilant tracking of my husband's moods, and adjusting myself to maintain harmony in my home, I asked myself an important question:

Do I still choose to sign up for this?

The answer was clear. I was no longer available for moving through life in survival mode.

When I said yes to working with (Honor) in Awakened Motherhood it was to find myself again, to learn how to create what I was waiting for someone else to give me - fulfillment, peace, joy.

I realized through our work together, the only real obstacles were inside of me, and in moving them I’ve created so much freedom.

My kids are more relaxed, and happier.

They don’t pick fights with each other anymore.

There’s more space for me now, space inside my head, and I’m just so much more at peace within my new phenomenal boundaries.

I enjoy being with myself and living for myself. It’s a freedom I thought I’d never find again.

It’s so unexpected yet completely what I needed to feel happy after so long of putting myself in a box.”

This week I caught up with a mom who went through my Awakened Motherhood Program six years ago.

She said something that struck me - that five years ago her relationships with her kids were so strained, that if she were parenting her teenagers now on that old trajectory, they would all be miserable.

Instead, she talked about how much fun this phase is, and how gratifying it is to see her kids manage themselves as she gets to enjoy them every day.

I know people talk about how hard it is to have teenagers, especially girls, but the truth is, with a solid foundation of trust and connection with them, it just keeps getting better.

The hardest part of parenting a child with big emotions isn’t just the intensity.
It’s not knowing where to focus your energy.

You try everything.
You second-guess yourself.
You wonder if you’re missing something important.

Often the biggest relief comes from finally understanding what’s underneath the behavior — and knowing where to stop wasting energy.

That’s why I created my two-part training,
Four Steps from Overwhelm to Peaceful Connection.

If you’ve been feeling lost about how to help your child calm down, comment RESOURCE and I’ll send you a link to watch.

And if you want personalized support after watching, don’t forget to book your clarity call.

Your child being calm, compliant, or “perfect” at school isn’t proof they’re thriving.

Often it just means they’re holding it together all day — and unloading where it’s safest.

At home.

If teachers don’t see what you’re seeing, it can make you doubt yourself.

Please don’t.
The version of your child you see at home is the most real information you have.
Many parents in this position start searching for a diagnosis or a quick fix.

Those paths often create more confusion, not clarity. And worst of all, they don’t lead to better results.

A better first step is understanding why your child’s emotions are showing up this way and what they actually need from you.

Your child is constantly responding to your energy, and visa versa.

Their meltdown may have more to do with your stress than theirs, and they don’t have any idea
Our kids act as giant mirrors, reflecting to us the emotions we don’t know what to do with…
Like frustration about an unfinished project, the sink full of dishes, or the weight of responsibility you carry as provider for your family.

If you want your child to be emotionally intelligent and resilient…
To be aware of her emotions and able to move through them without getting stuck or spiraling out…
And you want to lower your own stress so you can enjoy being with your kids, you have to understand how the mirrors work.

This is the work I teach inside Awakened Motherhood that’s rewiring patterns of stress and struggle to cooperation and fun for families of deep-feeling kids around the world.

You don’t have to match your child’s emotional intensity to help them.

In fact, when you get pulled into their overwhelm, the situation escalates.

Your job isn’t to feel everything they feel.
Your job is to stay steady while they feel it.

That steadiness — paired with firm, predictable boundaries — is what helps kids regulate over time.

If you want access to part one of Four Steps from Overwhelm to Peaceful Connection, say REPLAY below and we’ll show you where to find it.

If your child’s meltdowns seem to run the household, it may not be because you’re too strict.

It’s often the opposite.

When boundaries are unclear or inconsistent, deep-feeling kids feel less safe — not more — and their emotions get louder.
Calm authority isn’t harsh. It’s grounding. It’s calming. It’s soothing.

And it’s what allows emotions to settle instead of spiral.
