EP:149 In this powerful episode of Thrive Like a Parent Podcast, I sit down with my incredible friend Lauren Buongiorno, founder of Risely Health and a type one diabetes warrior. Lauren shares her transformative journey from struggling with diabetes to becoming a beacon of hope and empowerment for thousands living with this condition.

We dive deep into her personal story - from being diagnosed at seven to navigating collegiate sports, motherhood, and building a revolutionary health coaching company. Lauren breaks down the misconception that diabetes is just about math and insulin, revealing it's a holistic experience involving 42 different factors that impact blood sugar.

Key takeaways include understanding how technology can be a tool but not a complete solution, the importance of asking for help, and learning to work WITH your body instead of constantly fighting against it.

EP:148 Hey there! In this episode, I'm getting real about the challenges of being a mom, managing family expectations, and learning to prioritize myself. My son Eli's baseball journey threw me into a whirlwind of decisions this summer. I had to choose between a family vacation and supporting his All-Stars team, which wasn't easy.

I'm sharing my raw experience of feeling pulled between family demands, my children's needs, and my own mental health. Those moments of people-pleasing? I've been there, and I'm done with letting others' opinions dictate my choices. This episode is all about the courage it takes to set boundaries, make tough decisions, and stay true to yourself.

I'll walk you through how I navigated this crazy month - from juggling my in-laws' visit, a quick family trip, Eli's tournament, and camp preparations. It's a vulnerable look at how I'm learning to regulate my emotions, make decisions that serve me and my family, and stop trying to make everyone else happy at my own expense.

And bonus? I'm introducing our new Regulation Reset Collective and our first mini-course on people-pleasing. Trust me, you don't want to miss this conversation about reclaiming your power and living authentically. Let's do this!

EP:147 Hey there! In this episode, I'm diving deep into something that changed my life completely - the difference between external and internal regulation. Let me tell you, for years I was that person constantly seeking validation from everyone around me, putting myself last, and feeling frustrated when no one could read my mind.

I'm sharing my personal journey of how I transformed from constantly seeking external permission to becoming my own biggest supporter. We'll explore how external regulation looks like constantly waiting for your partner to notice you're exhausted, or feeling angry when your kids don't magically understand your needs. Sound familiar?

The game-changer? Learning to check in with MYSELF. What do I feel? What do I need? And most importantly, recognizing that I'm worthy of taking care of myself - not because someone else says so, but because I say so.

I'll walk you through practical steps to start your internal regulation journey, share vulnerable stories from my own life, and help you understand that you have everything you need to support your own nervous system.

Start your internal regulation journey today! Pause right now and ask yourself: "How am I feeling? What do I need?"
