If you’ve ever felt like you're too much, too sensitive, or just not wired to thrive the way others seem to…this episode is for you.

Melissa Jackson returns with a deeply personal conversation about what actually creates long-lasting change for women with ADHD, emotional overwhelm, and highly sensitive nervous systems. Instead of chasing surface-level productivity tips, Melissa invites her community to go deeper: to the root of self-doubt, burnout, and dysregulation through the healing practice of reparenting.

Drawing from her lived experience and professional training, she explores how emotional safety, nervous system capacity, and inner nurturing are the keys to true, sustainable transformation.

🎧 In This Episode, Melissa Talks About...

💛 Why traditional ADHD tips and self-help advice fail to support sensitive women

🧠 How masking, people-pleasing, and perfectionism are signs of deeper unmet needs

🌿 What reparenting actually looks like, and why it’s the key to root-level healing

👩‍👧 The ripple effect of healing: how supporting yourself transforms your parenting

📉 How disconnection from the body leads to shutdown, burnout, and survival mode

💫 A new approach to building nervous system capacity (without pushing or forcing)

🧭 This Episode Is Especially For You If…

1. You’re a woman with ADHD or emotional sensitivity who’s exhausted by overwhelm
2. You feel disconnected from yourself, constantly “performing” to be accepted
3. You’ve tried mindset work and productivity hacks, but still feel stuck
4. You’re curious about nervous system healing, reparenting, and embodied safety
5. You want to raise your children differently, but feel like you need support first

After six months of deep inner work, soul rest, and rediscovery, I’m back, and I’m so grateful to be here with you.

This episode marks the beginning of a new season. One that feels softer, more honest, and more aligned with how I want to show up in this work. I’m starting 2026 with a renewed commitment: to create meaningful conversations that help you come home to yourself, especially if you’ve been navigating life in survival mode for far too long.

In this solo episode, I share what reparenting has taught me, not just as a practitioner, but as a woman, mother, and human trying to feel safe in her own body again. If you’ve felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you’ve been performing just to be accepted, I hope this conversation reminds you:

✨ You are not broken.

✨ You do not have to earn your worth.

✨ And there is another way to live, one that honors your wiring and your truth.

You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of:

🧠Why mindset tools and productivity hacks don’t work for everyone

🌿How nervous system regulation creates the foundation for real change

💛And why healing yourself changes everything, including your relationship with your kids

This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about feeling safe enough to finally be yourself. That’s where the healing begins.

🧠 Why ADHD “tips” and productivity hacks rarely work for sensitive, neurodivergent women

💛 How reparenting helped me stop abandoning myself and build nervous system safety

🌿What it feels like to come home to your body after years of dissociation and burnout

👩‍👧 How healing ourselves impacts the way we show up for our children and communities

🌫️ The emotional toll of masking, self-silencing, and trying to “do life right”, and how to begin unraveling it

🧠 You’ve been diagnosed with ADHD or suspect you may be neurodivergent

💛 You’re a mom, educator, or sensitive woman feeling burnt out and unseen

🌫️ You struggle with self-trust, harsh self-criticism, or emotional shutdown

📋 You’ve tried mindset work and still feel stuck or overwhelmed

🌱 You’re curious about what reparenting really looks like, and how to start
