Show notes
This is possibly the most important episode I've ever made. After experiencing the unrelenting stress of fires, arsonists, hurricane force winds + fire was almost too much for the human body to bear witness too. Most everyone in LA right now is walking around as a zombie. We are in "low power mode" and from what I've heard from almost everyone, "we're just putting one foot in front of the other." Many of us know at least 1 person who lost everything. Many of us know 20+ people who only have the clothes they evacuated in. It's devastating.
However, the focus of this episode is not the fires. The focus of this episode is the incredible wisdom we hold in our bodies that has been biologically primed to keep us safe when our stress levels surpass our threshold. And unfortunately for every parent in America today, that threshold is maxing out regularly. So this episode focuses on understanding WHY our bodies do what they do. And how you can actively participate in what your body is doing so you can support yourself and your goals as a parent even further.
