@kimberly_staples: There was a time I couldn’t be the parent my kids really needed. Not because I didn’t love them. But because I was in survival mode. My nervous system was fried. I was overwhelmed, overstimulated, under supported… carrying trauma I hadn’t faced. I was doing “all the right things”, but I wasn’t present. I didn’t have the tools. I didn’t have the capacity. I didn’t even know what I didn’t know. What no one tells you is your child’s nervous system is wired into yours. If you’re anxious, they feel it. If you’re shut down, they mirror it. Everything changed when I learned to regulate myself through EFT tapping, breathwork, and nervous system repair. My son Axel used to have aggressive meltdowns. Now? He breathes through big feelings. He’s 7 and already knows how to calm his body and process emotions. Not because I “fixed” him, because we started a daily ritual: 
✨ 5 minutes of breathwork + tapping. Every day. Not during meltdowns—before. When he’s regulated. That’s what builds emotional intelligence. That’s why I created BIG MOODS, a workshop I’m co-leading with my 8-year-old daughter Kaia to teach parents how to co-regulate and raise emotionally resilient kids. You’ll learn: 
💛 EFT & breathwork for you + your kids
💛 How to create a 5-min daily ritual
💛 Why regulation starts with YOU
💛 How to build true connection This isn’t about fixing behavior. It’s about giving your kids what you never got: a calm, safe, emotionally present parent. 🗓 August 14 at 7PM EDT (Replay available)
