The “fight or flight” response is a primal rea The “fight or flight” response is a primal reaction that occurs in the face of perceived threat or danger, priming the body for action—either to confront the danger head-on (“fight”) or to evade it (“flight”). This response is characterized by an increase in heart rate, quickening of breath, and a surge of adrenaline and cortisol, preparing our bodies for rapid response.In motherhood, the fight or flight response can be frequently triggered not by physical dangers, but by daily stressors and challenges inherent in parenting. This continuous state of alert can lead to chronic stress, affecting both physical and mental health, and can impede one’s ability to respond calmly and thoughtfully to the day-to-day demands of raising children.👋🏼 Hi!

In the beautiful, messy world of summertime mommin In the beautiful, messy world of summertime mommin’, our energy shapes the rhythm of our environment. ✨ One of our favorite mantras to find calm in the chaos: “Peace begins with me now.” It’s simple but powerful.Here’s how to practice it:🖐🏽 Tap your thumb to each fingertip, one at a time—like a mini meditation you can do anytime, anywhere.
👂🏽 As you tap, repeat (or sing!) out loud or in your head:
peace (thumb to index)
begins (thumb to middle)
with me (thumb to ring)
now (thumb to pinky)Slow it down as you repeat the phrase, breathe deep, and let the rhythm reset your nervous system.
Mommin’ is full of unexpected overwhelm and yes, even rage—(just peep our most google searched words from moms!). But when we take even 30 seconds to calm our minds, it radiates out to our kids, our partners, and the whole mood of our home.👊🏽 Because when mama is calm, everyone else can breathe easier, too.🫶🏽 Save this mantra for your next meltdown and share it with a mama friend who needs to hear it today. 💛
