In this solo show I'm discussing one of my favorite, yet under appreciated trauma healing topics: the role of a resilience reservoir to make mom life easier.  I like to tell clients "stress is inevitable, but how we deal with it doesn't need to be."  This is the way to change how we deal with that inevitable stress in life.In this episode you'll learn:What stress resilience is and how having more of it helps make your life easierHow motherhood in general is stressful, but radical motherhood is next level because our trauma history impacts our ability to respond to stressful events    How expanding our window of tolerance allows us to do deeper level trauma healing work without risking retraumatizing ourselvesHow a larger resilience reservoir helps us be better at co-regulation for our childrenThe ways unhealthy coping mechanisms like binge-dieting or mommy wine culture are related to low resilience levelsReady to say YES to FOUNDATIONS and help create your own resilience reservoir?  FOUNDATIONS is the only course for cycle breaker moms that leverages nervous system healing so you can give your kids a childhood they don't need to recover from even if you have a history of trauma and chronic stress overshadowing your life.I'm teaching this as a special live offering and we get started 6/6.  Find the details and sign up here:  christabevan.com/foundationsJoin my free "virtual village" on Facebook --> facebook.com/groups/theradicalmothervillageFollow me on Instagram –> instagram.com/radicalmothervillageGrab a FREE copy of The Calm Mom Strategy –> christabevan.com/calmmomA radical mother is a woman poised in her power ready to disrupt cycles of generational trauma running through her family like wildfire.
