    Dec 23 2025
    Jennifer explores why emotional intelligence is the most critical leadership skill you'll ever develop as a mother. Drawing from corporate leadership research and personal experience, she reveals how your nervous system regulation directly impacts your children's brain development, health, and future relationships—and how breaking toxic patterns today creates a healthier legacy for generations to come. This episode is for every mama who's realized she's parenting differently than she was parented, who's seen her own reactive patterns show up with her kids, or who's ready to break cycles that no longer serve her family. You'll discover the thermostat effect in parenting, why emotional safety is a biological need for children, and practical steps to regulate your nervous system so you can lead your family with confidence and calm.
