Is Your Child’s Whinnying Driving You Crazy?

EP:117 Hey there! 👋 In this episode, I’m diving into a topic I know so many of us can relate to: why certain noises—like our kids’ whining—feel SO triggering.

I share my personal experience with my colicky, high-needs son, Charlie, and unpack the science behind why those infant and toddler sounds can activate our brains, even as our kids grow. From our codependent bond to our brain’s “fix-it” mode, this episode is all about understanding these triggers and learning how to navigate them with compassion.

You’ll learn:
✔️ Why our brains react to certain noises.
✔️ The role of awareness and self-compassion in parenting.
✔️ Practical tools to meet your needs in triggering moments.

💡 Remember: It’s okay to feel triggered—what matters is how we support ourselves through it. I hope these insights resonate with you!

📝 Share your thoughts! What triggers have you experienced, and how do you manage them? Drop a comment or review, and let me know what other topics you'd love to hear about!
