  64. Mum Guilt, Anger and the Parts of You Behind Them, with Jessica Tomich Sorci

  Aug 18, 202627 min

  The moment your patience snaps isn't random, and it isn't a character flaw. Therapist Jessica Tomich Sorci joins Nina to unpack "mum parts" - the different pieces of you that step in to protect you when parenting gets hard - and why getting to know them changes how you respond to your kids. You'll Learn What "mum parts" are and why every mother has them Why resentment, guilt and anger often show up together in a loop Protector parts vs the more vulnerable "inner baby" parts How to talk to your irritated part before it takes over What your kids learn when they see you name and regulate a hard feeling Why This Episode Matters If you've ever snapped at your kids and spent the day feeling terrible about it, this will feel like a relief. Jessica explains why those moments aren't a sign you're failing, they're a part of you trying to help. It's an episode that leaves you more curious about yourself, and less hard on yourself. Small Shift for Big Impact Jessica's small shift: imagine that even your worst reactive moment happened for a good reason, specific to caring for you. Your anger or panic is likely trying to help you. You don't have to act on that curiosity straight away, just hold it as a possibility. Take the Next Step Want to explore your own mum parts further?

  63. Overcome the Overwhelm Part 2: Connection & Co-operation

  Aug 11, 202616 min

  Overwhelm doesn't stay inside us, it spills into our kids, our family dynamic and our home. Part two of this two part series looks at practical ways to ease it in each of those places. You'll learn Why four hugs a day matters more than we realise (Virginia Satir) How to run "special time," a 10-15 minute connection tool Why filling each child's cup beats comparing siblings A simple dinner table practice: rose, thorn and bud Three shifts for easing overwhelm at home: schedules, stuff, screens Why this episode matters? A hard moment with one child, a flare up between siblings, a house that feels a step ahead of you, none of that means you're doing anything wrong. It's just what happens when a lot of people share the same days. This episode offers a few honest, doable ideas rather than one more thing to feel behind on. Small shift for big impact This series covered a lot across both episodes, so here's the full list. Pick just one, whichever resonates most or feels easiest to actually keep up, try it for a week, and see how it goes. If it doesn't land, come back and try another. From Part 1 (within ourselves): Bring presence into a tidy up, put a playlist on and properly sing and dance your way through it Twenty extra seconds at the sink each morning, noticing your hands and one thing you're grateful for From Part 2 (children, family and home): Physical touch, aim for those four hugs a day Special time, ten to fifteen minutes of your child's full attention, no TV, no correcting, phone away (bedtime can carry this if a daily slot isn't realistic) Working together on small jobs like dishes or feeding pets Specific verbal encouragement, "thank you for your kindness" over a blanket "good job Filling each child's cup individually rather than comparing them to a sibling Protecting some unscheduled time each week A toy rotation, so tidy up is actually manageable for your kids Take the next step If this stirred something in you, that's what one-on-one coaching is for.

  61. Bringing Dads into the Conversation, with Alison D'Vine

  Jul 28, 202634 min

  Today we're widening the lens beyond mums. Alison D'Vine of Sagency WA shares what years of working with men has taught her about why partners struggle to regulate, and what that does to the family when they don't. This isn't about excusing anything, it's about understanding what's underneath so we're not carrying it alone. Alison brings both her professional insight and her own lived experience to this one, and it's a genuinely honest look at the other side of the family system. You'll Learn Why "ghosts in the nursery" show up once unresolved trauma meets new parenthood The Angels in the Nursery study: how one person who truly saw you changes everything Quiet signs a partner might be struggling to self-regulate Why epigenetics shows trauma patterns can be interrupted, not just inherited Why trying to fix your partner backfires, and what helps instead Why This Episode Matters So much of this podcast is about our own regulation as mums, but our partners' emotional world shapes the household too. This conversation names what a lot of us feel but rarely say, the grimace instead of the smile, the plans that never happen, the eggshells, and gives language to what might be going on underneath. Small Shift for Big Impact Alison's small shift: you can't fix, cure or regulate your partner, but you can be the role model. As she puts it, quoting Abraham Lincoln, "point your feet in the right direction and stand firm." Get clear on your own regulation and boundaries, and hold that steady. Take the Next Step If this conversation brought something up about your partner or someone you love, Alison and her team at Sagency WA work with men directly, in person and online, Australia wide. Reach out through her website to point them in the right direction. Get this small shift started today. Got a Question for Alison?

  60. Susan Hughes Returns: Parenting an ADHD Child

  Jul 21, 202625 min

  If you've ever wondered whether your child's behaviour is deliberate, this one's for you. ADHD parent coach Susan Hughes returns to explain the neuroscience behind ADHD behaviour, and why understanding it changes how you respond. You'll Learn Why ADHD behaviour isn't a choice, it's a 30% executive function gap A phrase to interrupt a reactive moment: "it's the ADHD" A simple four-task morning routine for ADHD brains Why shame is the most damaging response to ADHD behaviour How to co-regulate when parent and child are both dysregulated Why This Episode Matters If you're parenting a child with ADHD, you know the mornings that spiral and the moments you snap and regret. Susan offers something more useful than a quick fix: a way to understand what's happening in your child's brain, and yours, so you can respond instead of react. Small Shift for Big Impact Susan's small shift: when you feel frustration rising, pause and say to yourself, "it's the ADHD." Not "she's ignoring me" or "he's being difficult" - it's the ADHD. She calls it a circuit breaker, the moment naming it lets you stop reacting and think about what your child actually needs. Take the Next Step If this conversation stirred something up for you, you don't have to sit with it alone. Register for Susan's upcoming free webinar on July 29th, 2026.

  59. Does Mindfulness Actually Work Mid-Meltdown?

  Jul 14, 202616 min

  You know the moment. Your child is on the floor of the shops, refusing to get dressed, or melting down as you try to leave the playground, and everything you've read about mindful parenting suddenly feels very far away. This episode is about what to actually do while you're in it, not before and not after. You'll Learn Why almost every stall, refusal or meltdown has something else going on underneath A simple breath technique to create a small gap before you react A short mantra to reach for when you're flustered in public The "I won't let you...but you can..." phrase for holding a boundary with warmth Why changing the vibe works better than reasoning with a tired, upset child A warning phrase that can head off the meltdown before it starts Why This Episode Matters If you've ever felt like every calm parenting idea flies out the window the second your child hits the floor of the shops, you're not alone. This episode sits in that exact gap, the bit in the middle that so much parenting advice skips over. It's for the moments that actually happen, not the version of parenting we plan for in our heads. Small Shift for Big Impact My small shift for you this week is just the breath. Next time you feel that heat rising, in the shops, before school, wherever it lands for you, try one slow breath in and a slower one out before you do anything else. You don't need the mantra or the silly voice for this one to count, the breath on its own is enough to feel the difference. Take the Next Step Pick just one moment this week, the school gate, the shops, wherever your pattern usually shows up, and try the breath before you do anything else. Notice what shifts, even slightly, in that small gap. Get this small shift started today.
