What Your Body Tells You Right Before You Snap with Layne Burkette
If you’ve ever felt the weight of the mental load and wondered what your body is trying to tell you before you snap, this episode is for you.
You already know you should pause, skip the yelling, set the boundary and rest. Then real life shows up: a meltdown, a buzzing phone, burning dinner. Licensed Professional Counselor and somatic therapist Layne Burkette explains why knowing what to do is not the same as being able to do it, and what your body is trying to tell you long before you snap. She also leads a short guided reset you can do right where you are.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why you can know all the right parenting skills and still lose access to them in the moment
- What your nervous system actually does all day, and what your body tells you right before you snap: a tight jaw, raised shoulders, a held breath, a knotted belly, restlessness, or wanting everyone to stop talking
- Why your calm is the hub of the home, and how that can feel empowering instead of like pressure
- A guided somatic reset you can do in a few minutes, plus how to shrink it into a single breath
- How to attach tiny pauses to moments you already have, like making coffee, school pickup or brushing your teeth
