Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try to stay calm, you still end the day feeling exhausted and defeated? Are you tired of feeling like your strong-willed or neurodivergent child’s behavior determines your peace? Do you catch yourself snapping, shutting down, or overexplaining even when you know what you “should” do? Wonder why faith alone doesn’t seem to calm your reactions in the moment?

In this episode, we’re uncovering why trying harder isn’t bringing you more calm and what’s really happening inside your body when your child’s behavior sets off that stress response. You’ll learn how emotional regulation begins in your nervous system, not your willpower, and how understanding that changes everything about how you parent. We’ll talk about what dysregulation looks like, why your body moves into protection mode, and how to find peace again through simple, faith-centered regulation practices.

This episode is especially for mamas raising a strong-willed or neurodivergent child whether ADHD, ASD, ODD, or PDA who want to move beyond meltdowns and defiance and start building connection through calm. You’ll discover that peace isn’t something you earn; it’s something you return to when you slow down, breathe, and let the Father meet you in the chaos.

Let this conversation remind you that you’re not failing you’re learning how to partner with how God designed your body so you can parent from peace, not pressure.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10

Stillness isn’t about doing nothing; it’s about surrendering control and trusting that His peace is already within your reach.

This week, when you feel that familiar tension rising the clenched jaw, racing heart, or urge to react pause and whisper, “Father, help me release this pressure and receive Your peace.” Let that breath be your anchor, reminding you that calm isn’t found in trying harder but in returning to Him.

Mama,

Do you ever feel like you’re walking on eggshells bracing for the next meltdown or moment of defiance?

Wonder why you react so quickly, even when you promised yourself you’d stay calm?

Feel like no matter how hard you pray or try, peace still feels out of reach?

Wish you could understand what’s really happening inside of you when you feel completely dysregulated?

In this episode, Finding Peace in the Chaos: What’s Really Going On Beneath the Meltdowns & Dysregulation, we’re unpacking what’s truly happening inside of you when parenting feels overwhelming.

When you’re raising a strong-willed or neurodivergent child, moments of defiance, meltdowns, or emotional intensity can leave you questioning your patience, your peace, and even your faith. But what’s really going on isn’t about failure it’s about dysregulation and the way your nervous system responds to constant stress.

You’ll discover that your reactions aren’t a sign of weakness or lack of faith they’re signals from your body, designed by God, asking for safety and calm. We’ll talk about how to recognize those cues, practice emotional regulation, and rebuild connection with your child even when things feel chaotic.

If you’ve been carrying the weight of everyone’s emotions and wondering why peace feels so hard to find, this episode will help you see that you’re not broken, your child isn’t broken, and peace is still possible — because it begins with anchoring your heart and body in God’s steady presence.

Faith Anchor

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

John 14:27

Even when your emotions feel dysregulated, God’s peace is constant. He doesn’t ask you to control the storm only to trust Him in the middle of it.

Challenge of the Week:

When things start to spiral this week, pause and ask, “What might my body be needing right now?” A deep breath, a quiet prayer, or a few moments of stillness may be the doorway back to peace.
