Are you constantly triggered, stressed, and running on survival mode while trying to be the parent you want to be?



In this candid conversation, Rebecca Greene sits down with Christina Fletcher, a spiritual alignment coach and energy healer from the UK, to discuss nervous system regulation, navigating chaos as a parent, and finding calm in the midst of a storm. Christina shares her journey from being an unhappy, overwhelmed mom who felt disconnected from herself to discovering practical tools for regulating her nervous system and showing up authentically for her family. 

The conversation covers everything from the science behind triggered nervous systems and tunnel vision to simple techniques, such as focusing on your feet, humming while doing dishes, and breathing in traffic. Christina explains why our children reflect us, how to be the "lighthouse in the storm," and why drama is often the biggest barrier to healing. 



5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

➤ Your nervous system can be regulated anywhere, anytime with simple tools like focusing on your feet, taking deep breaths, or even humming—these practices don't require long meditation sessions or special time carved out of your busy day.

➤ When you're triggered and stressed, you lose all peripheral vision and get tunnel vision on the problem, which is why you can't imagine happy outcomes or find solutions until you regulate your nervous system first.

➤ Children reflect us, and we set the emotional tone for the household—you must be the lighthouse in the storm and take care of your own light because they don't know how to regulate themselves yet.

➤ Drama is one of the biggest barriers to healing and self-connection because it keeps you regurgitating hurt and upset without actually processing what's really happening underneath.

➤ You can't force your children to like each other, but you can teach them to be considerate, remind them that how they treat others determines how they'll be treated back, and trust that their relationship will evolve.



QUOTES FROM CHRISTINA:

"We have to be able to be the anchor in the storm, or what I call the lighthouse in the storm. You have to take care of your light, because they don't know how to do it."

"By dropping your attention to other rhythms, you know, breaking the pattern. Our brains function in patterns. When you actually get back into your body, when you actually focus on your feet, when you anchor into the ground, you shift everything in your system. You regulate, you calm down. You feel more present."

"The biggest barrier or preventer of your own connection to yourself and to your heart and to the person you want to be is actually drama. It's like regurgitating all of the hurt and all of the upset without actually processing."

"Even if your children are really, really young, you still have to prioritize your sense of value, because our children reflect us. We set the rapport, we set the tone."
