Over the last several years, many people have felt an internal pull to slow down — not out of failure, but out of wisdom.

Burnout, health challenges, spiritual awakening, and global disruption have all initiated a necessary pause for leaders, founders, and high-achievers. But slowing down isn’t the destination. It’s recalibration.

In this episode of Reparenting Radio, Lisa explores the three phases nearly everyone moves through during major life transitions:

• Collapse: when the old way stops working
• Cocoon: where the nervous system stabilizes and capacity is rebuilt
• Re-entry: returning with regulation, discernment, and embodied leadership

This conversation is for anyone who has stepped back to heal — and is now feeling the quiet pull to re-engage without losing themselves again.

You’ll hear about:

• Why slowing down often looks like failure in a momentum-obsessed culture
• How the cocoon phase builds capacity (but isn’t meant to last forever)
• The difference between hiding for safety and preparing for re-entry
• What regulated leadership actually looks like
• Four clear signals that you’re ready to emerge

If you’re standing at the threshold between healing and contribution, this episode will help you trust where you are — and where you’re being called next.

READY TO GO DEEPER?

If you want help mapping what’s running your system, and restore right ...

Everyone seems to have the answer to healing right now.

Heal your trauma this way.
Regulate your nervous system that way.
Manifest more. Stop sabotaging. Fix your relationships.

And almost always, the solution being offered is one thing.

In this episode of (re)Parenting Radio, Lisa breaks down why one-method healing may bring relief—but rarely brings stability.

Because humans aren’t single-layered beings.

We’re a multi-layered system—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—and healing that only works in one layer often leaves the others untrained, overwhelmed, or ignored.

In this conversation, Lisa explores:

• Why expanded awareness without nervous system capacity can actually destabilize you
• The danger of trying to mindset or spiritualize your way through a dysregulated body
• Why somatic work alone doesn’t always translate into real-world regulation
• How unintegrated healing shows up as reactivity, shutdown, defensiveness, or collapse
• Why people jump from method to method—and why that isn’t a personal failure
• The difference between short-term relief and long-term stability
• Why “everything is information” (and none of it is random, neutral, or a moral failure)

Lisa also explains the Four Bodies framework and the Five Selves, including the role of the adult leader—the part of you that can listen, respond, and lead without being hijacked by fear, ego, or overwhelm.

This episode is especially relevant if:

• You’ve done “all the work” but still get triggered under pressure
• Healing feels temporary or doesn’t hold when life pushes back
• You’re tired of quick fixes and want something that actually integrates
• You’re standing at the beginning of a new year and questioning the next solution

Real healing doesn’t ask for more consumption.
It asks for participation, presence, consistency, and capacity—across all of you.

Shame isn’t an emotion.
It’s a program.

And most of us are running it without even knowing it.

In this episode of (re)Parenting Radio, Lisa breaks down shame as a survival-based operating system installed early in life—one that doesn’t just affect how you feel, but how you behave.

We explore how shame shows up as:

• People-pleasing
• Perfectionism
• Hiding or procrastination
• Collapsing after feedback
• Harsh self-talk
• The belief: “If they really saw me, I wouldn’t be accepted.”

You’ll learn why shame doesn’t disappear with success, why it hijacks behavior under pressure, and how to rewrite the code using nervous system awareness, regulation, and conscious self-leadership.

You are not broken.
You are programmed.
And you can rewrite the program.

And when you heal the relationship with yourself,
all your other relationships change.
