EP 35 // Why Stepping Outside Helps Regulate Emotions - Even When You Only Have a Minute

If you’ve ever found yourself snapping more easily than you want to, feeling overstimulated by the noise and needs around you, or wondering why everything feels harder than it should… this episode is for you. If you’re trying to raise emotionally healthy kids while your own nervous system feels stretched thin, you’re not doing anything wrong—and you’re not alone. This conversation is for overwhelmed parents, especially mothers of young children, who care deeply about child development and want practical parenting tips that actually support real life. It’s for those moments when family balance feels out of reach and emotional regulation feels like one more thing you’re failing at—even though you’re trying so hard. In this episode, I’m talking about why stepping outside helps regulate emotions, even when you only have a minute. We explore what’s happening in the nervous system when stress builds, why young children are especially sensitive to internal and external overload, and how nature-based parenting supports both early childhood development and adult regulation in simple, accessible ways. I share how brief moments outdoors—standing in the sun, feeling the air, grounding your body—can interrupt overwhelm and help your brain and body reset without adding another task to your plate. This matters because emotionally healthy kids don’t come from perfect parents—they come from regulated environments and caregivers who are supported, not depleted. When we understand the biology behind nervous system regulation and child development, we can stop blaming ourselves and start working with our bodies instead of against them. My hope is that this episode helps you think differently about regulation, relief, and what “enough” really looks like in this season. After listening, I want you to feel calmer, more grounded, and reassured. Not fixed—but remembered. Remembered that small shifts matter, that support can be simple, and that even one minute outside can change the tone of your day.
