Being You 🍂

You may feel overwhelmed sometimes
And want to run away,
But know that you are capable
Of getting through each day.
So when things feel scary
And you can’t see your way through,
Know that you’re enough
And loved for simply being you.

With love,
Stacey 🦊🌙

Moral OCD can be tricky for parents to recognize because it often looks like strong values, deep guilt, or honest confessions.

In this episode, I break down the most common pitfalls parents fall into when trying to support their child with Moral OCD like:
- Mistaking OCD-driven fears for good morals
- Treating compulsive “confessions” as real
- Worrying that if you don’t respond, your child will bottle everything up.
- Confusion around if it is OCD or your child’s religious or personal beliefs and preferences.

Most importantly, I’ll share practical ways to shift your responses: how to separate OCD from true values, recognize when you’re debating with OCD instead of your child, respond in a consistent way to “confessions,” and support healthy communication without fueling compulsions.

You’ll walk away with concrete strategies to reduce accommodation while still staying connected and compassionate.

The vagus nerve is a primary carrier of information describing the state of the body to the brain, and transmitting information from the brain back to the body. It’s a feedback mechanism which is responsible for maintaining homeostasis for many of our vital organs and brain/body functions. Research over the past few decades shows that the vagus plays a key role in managing our levels of stress as well as our body’s inflammation; in this age of stress- and inflammation-related disease, it is perhaps the most important nerve in the body for us to be paying attention to.

Come learn more about the vagus nerve on our website, and register for the 2025 PVI International Gathering, The Vagus Nerve: A Path to Wellness, happening this fall, Oct 31-Nov 2, live in-person and online.
