If you're raising girls, this episode is a must-listen.

Because the world they’re growing up in? It’s not the one we were raised in.

In this powerful conversation with therapist, parenting coach, and Restoring Our Girls author Cathy Cassani Adams, we unpack what girls are really asking for—and why so many parents miss it.

Cathy brings decades of experience (and her perspective as a mom of three daughters) to shed light on how we can parent with emotional attunement, clarity, and deep connection—even through the messiness of adolescence.

You'll learn:
✨ What girls actually wish we’d stop doing (it’s not what you think)
✨ Why “well-meaning” labels like “the smart one” or “the shy one” can cause harm
✨ How to foster critical thinking, confidence, and emotional safety with your daughter

If you want your daughter to know she’s safe to be fully herself—with you and with the world—this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.

🎧 Hit play for a grounded, honest look at how to parent girls with wisdom, compassion, and courage.

If you’re waking up tired, snapping at everyone by noon, forgetting basic things, or constantly overstimulated… it might not be your schedule, your supplements, or your mindset.

It might be your nervous system.

You’re not just “off.”

Your body is trying to tell you something.

In this episode, we’re unpacking what nervous system dysregulation actually is—and how it silently hijacks your focus, energy, mood, digestion, hormones, and more.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:

💭 Why am I always exhausted?
💭 Why do I feel numb, foggy, or on edge all the time?
💭 Why can’t I just get it together?

This one’s for you.

We’re diving into:
✔️ The real science behind dysregulation (and why it’s not about willpower)
✔️ 10 clear signs your body is stuck in survival mode - like fatigue, brain fog, reactivity, digestive issues, and more
✔️ Simple, daily tools to support regulation

🧠 Because no amount of supplements, to-do lists, or mindset work can override a dysregulated nervous system.

💡 But the good news? Your nervous system is built to heal—and that healing starts with understanding what’s really going on in your body.

If you feel like you’ve been stuck in a fog—too tired to move, too overwhelmed to start, or too numb to care—this episode is for you.

You’re probably not lazy. You’re not a procrastinator. You’re not failing.

You might just be in a nervous system freeze response—the most misunderstood nervous system state.

It’s what happens after months (or years) of running on fumes.

And it’s why so many high-achieving women feel exhausted, disconnected, and stuck—no matter how hard they’re trying.

In this episode, we break down:

✔️ What the freeze response really is (and why it’s not about being lazy)
✔️ 7 sneaky signs you’re in a freeze state
✔️ Simple, body-based tools to gently start thawing out
✔️ How to support your nervous system without pushing yourself harder

💡 Spoiler: Freeze is not the end of the road. It’s your nervous system asking for support—and there is a way forward.
