Episode notes
Therapist Bridget Weigel joins the podcast to explore the emotional roots of executive function, especially in families where both parents and kids face similar challenges. Through a trauma-informed, somatic lens, Bridget shares how slowing down, building routines, and regulating emotions can disrupt the cycle of guilt and reactive parenting. She explains why mindfulness doesn’t have to mean meditation, how movement fosters curiosity and connection, and why healing our nervous systems is the most powerful gift we can offer our kids. From ADHD to anxiety to overwhelm, this episode is a masterclass in breaking generational patterns and modeling calm, connected resilience. Learn more about Bridget Weigel's work at:
