Co-Parenting with ConfidenceFrom Reaction to Regulation: Choosing How You Show UpIn this episode, Mikki Gardner explores what it really means to change from the inside out. So often, we think transformation happens when something outside of us shifts — a partner, a job, a child's behavior — but lasting change always begins with self-regulation. Mikki breaks down the connection between our mind, body, and emotions, showing how awareness becomes the bridge to choice. You'll learn how to strengthen your self-regulation "muscle," recognize when you're operating from reactivity, and return to calm so you can lead yourself — and your relationships — with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.
