Ever notice how we’re taught to push through stress, but rarely how to come down from it? In the Cultivating Calm Community, we explore nervous system regulation in a way that’s practical, science-backed, and made for real life. It’s not about staying calm all the time - it’s about learning how to return to calm when life gets loud. Because calm isn’t the end goal, it’s the anchor. The place you come back to when things get messy, uncertain, or overwhelming. Inside, you’ll find gentle education, real conversations, and small, doable tools that help you move from chaos to clarity, one intentional moment at a time. 💬 In our free community, we talk about: • How stress really works in the body • Simple tools to regulate (no trendy fluff, just real neuroscience) • What co-regulation looks like in everyday life • Burnout recovery, emotional balance, and capacity building If calm feels like something you keep chasing but can’t quite catch, you’ll feel seen here. All states, all experiences, and all parts of the journey are welcome. We’re learning, growing, and co-regulating together. 👉 Join us here: Cultivating Calm Community

We’re mapping the migration patterns of humans between 7PM and bedtime. Task: Record how many times you’ve said, “I should go to bed,” without actually moving. Bonus points if you’re still there while reading this. Sponsored by The Giggle Index, documenting human inertia since 9:08pm on 10/23/25

There's one thing that has brought about a commonality among every member of my community so far. That thing? It's being a contributing member of multiple communities. I spend a good amount of time every day interacting, giving value, and building connections. The best part is that I have fun while I do it. I low-key have a Skool addiction, but I'm doing ok. All joking aside, it's been a great experience so far. I challenge all of you to go into the communities you're a part of with the mindset of finding some way to give value to the community.

It’s not “attention-seeking,” it’s connection-needing. Busywork won’t fix dysregulation—co-regulation will. These behaviors are classic signs of a nervous system on alert. When the body’s “alarm” is on, the thinking brain goes dim. Adding more activities or faster pacing usually adds load, not relief. What’s really going on: - Whining = “I’m overloaded.” This is the sound of overload—I need help to settle myself. - Clinginess = “Stay close.” I’m seeking proximity; your grounded presence helps my brain feel more organized. - Endless questions = “Am I safe?” I’m checking for reassurance, not trying to stall. Why “keep them busy” backfires: More tasks = more input and more decisions. Dysregulated brains need fewer variables, predictable presence, and clear signals of safety before they can re-engage. I’m Brenda, a pediatric OT and feeding specialist. Alongside Katherine, a parenting and educational consultant, I co-created The Ultimate Preschool Playbook—a relationship-centered training for preschool teachers that turns brain-based principles into simple, play-first routines for today’s classrooms. If you’re a preschool director (or you know one), we share regulation-first frameworks, coaching language, and team-friendly routines inside the Preschool Director Network (free on Skool). Please share our new free group with preschool directors so they can browse, borrow, and share with their teams. https://www.skool.com/preschool-director-network-4957/about?ref=f019d3133204449a842579257e57d9c0
