How do you actually pause when you’re already activated? Why do you keep overreacting even when you promise yourself you won’t? And what do you do when your child is anxious about going back to school? Parenting coach Albiona Rakipi answers the questions her community sent in most — and this episode is as practical as it gets. Albiona walks through the somatic tools she uses herself to interrupt reactive patterns in real time, explains why exhaling longer than you inhale is the fastest nervous system reset available, and breaks down why self-awareness alone doesn’t produce change. She also covers back-to-school anxiety, how to help kids through transitions, and why mixing up a transition problem with a frustration tolerance problem means you’re solving the wrong thing entirely. Part 1 of 2. More questions answered in the next episode.
You asked, Albiona answered. This AMA covers the questions that came in most — reactive parenting, back-to-school transitions, and why pausing is so much harder in practice than it sounds. Practical, somatic, and honest.
