Two momsâone in the mountains and one in the Midwestâsharing one frequency. In this month's episode of Regulated-ish, we're getting real about the chaos, uncertainty, and emotional rollercoaster of seasonal transitions. We dive into the overwhelm of summer planning, teens preparing for college, and the profound "hidden endings" of parentingâlike those subtle last walks at school before sending them into the world.
We explore how the unpredictability of weather perfectly mirrors the turbulence of self-regulation. From managing the unexpected money and energy drain of teenager appetites to a lighthearted but honest look at ADHD brains, we discuss why knowing your coping tools is only half the battle.
Most importantly, we remind each other (and you) that summer doesn't have to be perfect. Through tiny shifts like intentional breathing and managing expectations, you can find a little more grounding amidst the chaos. Remember: your nervous system needs support, not another to-do.

Most women avoid their feelingsâand in doing so, they overthink as a way to manage deeper emotions theyâre afraid to feel. What if thereâs a way to break that cycle by truly trusting your body and embracing your vulnerability?
Shauna Hawks, embodiment mentor and yoga teacher, reveals the hidden connection between overthinking, emotional avoidance, and the body's natural stress responsesâand how simple shifts towards surrender can unlock profound resilience.In this compelling conversation, Shauna shares her groundbreaking framework: overthinking is a symptom of avoiding deep emotions, and resilience is found in surrendering into that vulnerability. She unpacks how societal messages teach women to disconnect from their bodies, pushing them into a constant mental loop that leaves them feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Using insights from nervous system science, Shauna explains why a dysregulated body can hinder clarity, trust, and authentic emotional expressionâand how healing begins with feeling safe in your own skin.
Youâll discover practical tools to start reconnecting with your body todayâlike setting alarms to pause and feel, and embracing vulnerability as a strength rather than a weakness.
Shauna discusses the power of sweet surrender: the art of allowing life to unfold, releasing control, and opening yourself to receive more love, support, and emotional resilience. She also explores how societyâs neglect of emotional literacy keeps women in a cycle of push-push-push, and why changing this narrative begins within.
This episode is perfect for women craving deeper self-trust, mental clarity, and emotional freedom. If youâve ever felt overwhelmed by your thoughts or disconnected from your body, Shaunaâs gentle insights will show you a way homeâwhere you can finally feel safe enough to be fully, vulnerably human.
Tune in and discover how to rewire your nervous system for calm, confidence, and authentic connection.
