🚨MOMS WARNING You Need Regulation Too And Nobody Is Talking About It

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]Stay-at-home moms, they need regulation, too. See, when my kids were little, I was a stay-at-home mom for almost 10 years. And one thing I learned during that time is that motherhood requires rhythm. Not perfection, but rhythm.

[00:00:16]Because if you're trying to clean while they're playing, while they're calling your name, why they're pulling things out of the cabinets, you're cleaning while they're messing up. And that will disregulate you so fast. You start getting irritated, overstimulated, feeling like nothing is ever done.

[00:00:35]Girlfriend, you sitting in a corner crying. And see what I learned is this.

[00:00:40]When they're moving and playing, I stayed mostly present with them. And when they were finally sitting down or resting, that's when I moved. Maybe I spent 10 to 15 minutes getting a few things back in order. Not trying to make things all perfect, just bringing it back into rhythm. Because a regulated nervous system, it doesn't chase perfection. It finds a rhythm that works for the season you're in. And one more thing I learned, if they were getting up at 6:00 in the morning, I had to get up earlier than that. We're not getting up at the same time. No, ma'am. We are not starting the day together. I needed time for myself first. And that's regulation.

[00:01:22]Not waiting for the day to start pulling on you, but starting the day with yourself. So stay at home moms, what rhythm works for you in your house? Tell me. I want to know.
