I'm going to be taking a short pause from momplex.
This has been such a special space for me, and I'm so proud of what we have created together. Right now, I'm taking some time to reset and get clear on what's next so I can continue showing up here in the best way possible. This isn't goodbye, it's just a pause. Thank you for being here, for listening and for being a part of this community. I'm so grateful for you, and I'll be back soon.
Until then, you can always find me on Instagram and you can always send me an email.

You’re Not Overreacting… You’re Time Traveling
I explore why I sometimes overreact to my kids and how it’s often not about them, but about my past. When something happens to my child—like a bad grade, getting benched, or being left out—it can catapult me back to my own teenage wounds. My nervous system, through neuroception, scans for danger and pulls old memories from my internal “storage unit,” reacting as if I’m still that younger version of myself.
I explain how parts of us can freeze in time during overwhelming experiences and how “protector parts” like the perfectionist, overachiever, or people-pleaser show up to keep us safe. These parts mean well, but they can lead me to control, fix, or overhelp my kids instead of letting them build resilience.
I share practical ways to pause, ground my nervous system, and ask, “How old do I feel right now?” That awareness helps me bring my adult self back to the driver’s seat, support my kids through their challenges, and tend to my own younger parts with compassion.

Why High-Functioning Moms Are So Emotionally Exhausted with Psychologist Alissa Jerud, PhD
This episode is a heartfelt conversation between me and clinical psychologist, professor, mom, and author Dr. Alissa Jerud about the emotional side of parenting that no baby book ever prepared us for. I open up about my own journey as a high-functioning, overachieving mom who thought if I just did everything “right,” my kids would be okay and my pain wouldn’t matter. Alissa shares how her book Emotion Savvy was born out of her own struggles with her daughter and how trying to change our kids is often really an attempt to escape our own discomfort—anxiety, guilt, overwhelm. We talk about over-scheduling, perfectionism, teens slamming doors, and the hard practice of not fixing everything. At the core, this episode is about learning to notice our emotions, accept them, care for ourselves, and model healthy emotional regulation so our kids feel safer being fully themselves.
