  • 20: Working With All of You (Not Just the Part That Sounds Good on Instagram)
    Jan 16 2026

    Everyone seems to have the answer to healing right now.

    Heal your trauma this way.
    Regulate your nervous system that way.
    Manifest more. Stop sabotaging. Fix your relationships.

    And almost always, the solution being offered is one thing.

    In this episode of (re)Parenting Radio, Lisa breaks down why one-method healing may bring relief—but rarely brings stability.

    Because humans aren’t single-layered beings.

    We’re a multi-layered system—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—and healing that only works in one layer often leaves the others untrained, overwhelmed, or ignored.

    In this conversation, Lisa explores:

    • Why expanded awareness without nervous system capacity can actually destabilize you
    • The danger of trying to mindset or spiritualize your way through a dysregulated body
    • Why somatic work alone doesn’t always translate into real-world regulation
    • How unintegrated healing shows up as reactivity, shutdown, defensiveness, or collapse
    • Why people jump from method to method—and why that isn’t a personal failure
    • The difference between short-term relief and long-term stability
    • Why “everything is information” (and none of it is random, neutral, or a moral failure)

    Lisa also explains the Four Bodies framework and the Five Selves, including the role of the adult leader—the part of you that can listen, respond, and lead without being hijacked by fear, ego, or overwhelm.

    This episode is especially relevant if:

    • You’ve done “all the work” but still get triggered under pressure
    • Healing feels temporary or doesn’t hold when life pushes back
    • You’re tired of quick fixes and want something that actually integrates
    • You’re standing at the beginning of a new year and questioning the next solution

    Real healing doesn’t ask for more consumption.
    It asks for participation, presence, consistency, and capacity—across all of you.

  • 19: The Shame Program: How It Hijacks Your Behavior and How to Rewrite It
    Jan 8 2026

    Shame isn’t an emotion.
    It’s a program.

    And most of us are running it without even knowing it.

    In this episode of (re)Parenting Radio, Lisa breaks down shame as a survival-based operating system installed early in life—one that doesn’t just affect how you feel, but how you behave.

    We explore how shame shows up as:

    • People-pleasing
    • Perfectionism
    • Hiding or procrastination
    • Collapsing after feedback
    • Harsh self-talk
    • The belief: “If they really saw me, I wouldn’t be accepted.”

    You’ll learn why shame doesn’t disappear with success, why it hijacks behavior under pressure, and how to rewrite the code using nervous system awareness, regulation, and conscious self-leadership.

    You are not broken.
    You are programmed.
    And you can rewrite the program.

    And when you heal the relationship with yourself,
    all your other relationships change.

  • 18: When Your Old Life Stops Working: The Awkward In-Between
    Jan 1 2026

    In this episode, we’re naming something almost everyone experiences—but few people can explain: that “flat,” quiet season after growth.

    You’re not falling apart… but you’re not inspired either. If you’re a founder, leader, or parent who’s used to momentum, this phase can feel unsettling.

    Here’s the truth: this isn’t failure—it’s recalibration. It’s your nervous system uninstalling old coping patterns and learning how to exist without urgency, performing, fixing, or chasing.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why the nervous system chooses familiar over healthy
    • The neurological reason this phase feels uncomfortable (your brain hates “no map”)
    • The common ways people sabotage themselves in the quiet
    • How to move through the in-between using the (re)Parenting Method: awareness, attunement, safety, leadership, and re-coding

    If you’re in the in-between right now, take this with you: this isn’t emptiness—this is space. And space is where the new you stabilizes.

  • 17: Psychedelics: You Can’t Dissolve a Self That’s Still Protecting You
    Dec 25 2025

    There’s a surge happening right now toward psychedelics, ceremony, ego death, and spiritual awakening, and for many people, it feels like the missing portal.

    But here’s the truth I see again and again (in leadership rooms and living rooms):

    Insight isn’t the same as integration.
    And you don’t dissolve a self that’s still protecting you.

    In this episode, Lisa breaks down why so many high-functioning leaders and parents can “understand” their patterns… yet still get hijacked in the moments that matter most—at work, at home, and in the relationships that test our nervous system the hardest.

    You’ll hear Lisa’s grounded perspective on where psychedelics can be powerful—and where they can destabilize—especially when the inner child is still running the system.

    This episode is for you if:

    • Therapy has helped, but something still feels incomplete
    • Spiritual teachings feel true, but don’t always land in real life
    • You’ve had big insights, but they don’t “stick” under pressure
    • You want a cleaner model for nervous system leadership—at home and at work

    In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

    • The three dominant healing models people are using right now (and why the sequence matters)
    • Why therapy often hits a ceiling: insight increases, but the emotional loop stays
    • How psychedelic/spiritual work can become bypassing when the nervous system is still in survival
    • Why “ego death” can feel like freedom… or feel like abandonment
    • Lisa’s Five Selves framework (Inner Child, Ego, Body-Mind, Higher Self, ME Self) and why healing is about right leadership inside
    • The simple way to bring the adult self back online: see, validate, and relieve the younger parts of duty
    • Lisa’s story of unknowingly walking into an overnight ayahuasca ceremony in Baja.

    Some healing strengthens the self. Some healing dissolves it. Wisdom is knowing which one your nervous system can hold.” — Lisa Watson

  • 16: The Science Behind Why Smart, Capable Adults Still Act Like Children Sometimes
    Dec 18 2025

    In this episode of (re)Parenting Radio, Lisa unpacks a human experience every adult has but few truly understand: emotional regression — the moment when something small hits something old, and your body reacts like you’re 8 instead of the adult you are today.

    We often call it being triggered, but Lisa explains what’s really happening inside the nervous system when a younger part takes the wheel because authenticity feels unsafe.

    You’ll learn:

    • What emotional regression actually is
    Not immaturity — a survival program that once protected you.

    • Why it happens with some people but not others
    You can handle rejection at work but spiral at home because attachment, not stress, activates old wounds.

    • How to recognize when your inner child is leading
    Oversized reactions, losing your words, shame spikes, black-and-white thinking, or replaying the moment endlessly.

    • Why parents and partners get triggered the most
    Your nervous system stored emotional memories long before you had language, logic, or a prefrontal cortex.

    • The 5 steps to bring your adult self back online

    1. Awareness
    2. Attunement
    3. Safety
    4. Reassigning leadership
    5. Adult re-expression
      These steps form the foundation of the (re)Parenting Method℠.

    When you stop regressing and start reparenting, everything shifts.
    You communicate with clarity, stop personalizing others’ emotions, break old relational patterns, and finally respond from who you are, not who you had to be.

    Emotional regression doesn’t mean you’re broken — it means you’re human. And reparenting is how you become the leader of your inner world again.

  • 15: The Dance of Development: How Others Personalities Shape Who We Think We Are (with John Harper)
    Dec 11 2025

    This week on (re)Parenting Radio Lisa is joined by guest John Harper — Diamond Approach teacher, Enneagram guide, and author of The Enneagram World of the Child and Nurturing Essence: A Compass for Essential Parenting.

    Together, they explore what John calls “the dance of development” — the way a child’s early environment, their parents’ personalities, and the nervous system’s survival responses weave together to create the sense of self we later mistake as “just who I am.”

    You’ll hear John unpack:

    • How fear, anger, shame, and the inner critic become core forces in ego development
    • Why children almost always conclude, “It must be my fault,” when something goes wrong
    • How early shocks and repeated tensions (like conflict, chaos, or criticism) wire the nervous system
    • How awareness, acceptance, and curiosity gently dissolve old patterns without force

    Lisa brings in the (re)Parenting Method℠ lens — connecting John’s spiritual-psychological framework with real-life reparenting:

    • Why you didn’t “choose” your early programming, but can take responsibility for healing it
    • How your nervous system keeps trying to return to the energetic “comfort zone” of childhood
    • Why chasing “happiness” doesn’t work if your system is still wired for chaos, criticism, or conflict

    This episode is an invitation to:

    • See your parents — and yourself — as innocent to conditioning
    • Get curious about the patterns you’re still reenacting in your relationships
    • Reclaim presence as the most powerful parenting tool you have

    Whether you’re a parent, a cycle-breaker, or simply someone devoted to inner work, this conversation will help you understand how you became who you are, and how to gently reorient back to who you’ve always been.

  • 14: When Holidays Hurt: Rewriting Old Wounds With New Boundaries and ReParenting
    Dec 4 2025

    “What if saying no to a tradition is actually saying yes to your inner child?” — Lisa Watson

    In this heartfelt and deeply human episode, Lisa takes you behind the scenes of her own holiday evolution — from a childhood where Christmas carried wounds of exclusion, to an adulthood where she reclaimed her emotional safety through conscious guardrails.

    Using her (re)Parenting Method℠, she reframes boundaries as acts of self-respect and inner child protection, not rejection or rebellion.

    You’ll hear how letting go of performative traditions allowed her nervous system to finally rest — and how you can begin to do the same.

    You’ll discover:

    • How childhood holiday dynamics plant the earliest seeds of people-pleasing
    • Why not participating in certain traditions can be a boundary
    • What guilt really means when you set limits (hint: it’s not what you think)
    • How to stay regulated when others resist your guardrails
    • Why choosing yourself doesn’t harm relationships — it clarifies them
    • Practical tools to navigate family expectations without abandoning yourself

    This episode is an invitation to make your holiday season more peaceful, more honest, and more aligned with your inner truth, without guilt, or performance.

    💛 Mantra: “My boundaries are bridges, not walls.”

  • 13: Eleven Years of Silence: Reprogramming the Patterns That Kept Me Small
    Nov 27 2025

    “Repetition is how the subconscious learns, but gratitude is how it remembers love.” — Lisa Watson

    In this special Thanksgiving week episode, Lisa explores how repetition and emotional state shape the subconscious, and how the boundaries we keep from love, not fear, can rewrite our inner programming.

    She shares her deeply personal story of going 11 years without contact with her mother and how staying consistent in truth, calm, and compassion gradually transformed the relationship itself.

    Through her (re)Parenting Method℠, Lisa teaches how every repeated response, even silence, becomes a new script for the nervous system.

    You’ll discover:

    • Why the subconscious memorizes family roles through emotional repetition
    • How boundaries act as energetic regulation, not rejection
    • Why guilt often shows up as a sign of growth
    • How gratitude and repetition together create lasting safety in the body

    This episode is an invitation to release old family scripts, regulate your own energy, and speak love into your subconscious, one consistent boundary at a time.
