Can nurturing shape a child’s brain for life? In this powerful episode, neuroscientist and author Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum unpacks the science behind early brain development and emotional health. We explore how responsive parenting, co-regulation, and caregiver well-being lay the foundation for lifelong resilience. Dr. Kirshenbaum challenges outdated ideas about “spoiling” and offers hope for healing—even for adults who missed early nurture
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Nurturing is foundational for healthy brain development, especially in the earliest years.
- A child’s stress response system is shaped by their early life experiences.
- Co-regulation between parent and child is essential for emotional safety and long-term well-being.
- Infants cannot self-soothe—they rely on responsive, attuned caregivers to feel safe.
- The first three years of life are a critical window for brain wiring and emotional imprinting.
- You can’t “spoil” a baby with love—nurturing builds emotional resilience and secure attachment.
- Caregivers need self-care, too. Regulated parents create regulated children.
- Healing is always possible, even after low-nurture or high-stress early experiences.
- Development happens in waves—there are key moments across the lifespan for emotional growth and repair.
- Parenting is not a solo journey—relationships and community support are essential.

A powerful way to move into feminine magnetism is literally to MOVE! Whether it's through dance, yoga, improvisation, shaking, or other somatic techniques, moving the body breaks up stagnation and releases built up pressure in the body that is getting in the way of soul's most authentic expression. Once we are able to release and let go of all the blocks standing in the way of our true self, our heart's light can shine through, plump up our aura, and draw all that we could ever want to us naturally and without effort. That's the feminine way. Find your flow and move into your feminine magnetism - with ease, courage, and delight.ABOUT LAILA:Instagram

Join me for a delicious conversation to manifest money and love the feminine way with energetic alchemist, Star Nerud. As a devoted yogi, she has felt the tension that lives between yogic principles of Divine surrender/letting life unfold AND using manifestation principles to consciously direct visions from the unseen realm into physical form. Can these two things coexist? YES! Through direct experience in her own life, Star has found a way to let her desires flow freely through her heart, and to nurture them into physical form with ease & surrender. If you want to manifest money and love the feminine way in the new year, tune in! Key words: feeling, trusting, allowing.

Emotion regulation is defined as "the ability to exert control over one's own emotional state." Women are cyclical beings, and the emotions that flow through us can feel overwhelming at times. In order to have more agency over the way we express our emotions, it is imperative that we understand the way the nervous system works. Emotions like fear, anxiety, and anger are often triggered by our innate survival response. Emotions are inevitable, and emotional regulation as women can happen more smoothly when we know how to self soothe - this starts with identifying the sensations that are associated with nervous system activation. When we build consciousness and space around our emotional reactions, we have more agency as to how we respond and can alchemize our emotions as the gifts that they are.

Pleasure is defined as being a 'source of enjoyment or delight' - this episode will explore why pleasure soothes your nervous system and increases your feminine energy. In general, when we tune into and live through the portal of our human body, we can more fully embody our feminine radiance. Feminine radiance is emitted through heart & body connection, and is the reason why pleasure can both enhance your feminine energy and soothe your nervous system.

SENSUAL FEMININE ENERGY MEDITATION: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcvI5Za-GoE&t=66s
Our sexual energy is a sacred elixir of essence and life force - when we learn how to relate to it in a way that is whole, honoring, and loving, our external reality can shift in magical ways. In this conversation, Nicole Nardone and I explore the power of relationship to this vital energy. Our feminine essence is intimately tied to our sexual expression - when we infuse our bodies with love and pleasure, the whole world may soften into a more harmonious place (both our internal reality and the world outside of us). Yum, that sounds both powerful AND delicious!

Since the feminine way is softness, fluidity, and flow... those of us with a feminine core might feel that when life gets rocky & rough, we are out of alignment. Not so! The human experience, inevitably, will present us with challenges (heart break, death of loved ones, career transitions, etc). It's a good thing that we've evolved an incredibly robust nervous system to adapt to all of these stressors.
Stress actually helps us grow and evolve - its' a gift. We can let things be easy... until they're not. When trauma, tragedy, and overwhelm creep into our lives, we can rise to the occasion like the queens we are. When we approach challenge from this mindset, we can actually be confident in letting things be difficult, rather than striving for easy and feeling like something is wrong.

Rewiring the brain can be uncomfortable, quantum leaping might be unnerving, and shifting behaviors may take some discipline. So, dear butterfly, let things be easy - but don't be afraid of a little friction. When you push through life, you are embracing your masculine energy, which can be powerful medicine to your feminine essence! There are certain milestones that require a bit of grit, perseverance, and hard work. This video will explore the neuroscience behind the process of rewiring the brain. We will zone in on the agitation of learning something new, the robustness of the nervous system and the compound effect of instilling new habits.

When life moves through you and expands reality, it can feel uncomfortable (especially if the nervous system feels unsafe). However, the feminine way is to surrender to discomfort, not fight against it. Let it easy by leaning into what feels difficult. When life moves through you, ALLOW Spirit to chisel away at your fixed identity. Embrace the growing pains that are inevitable with evolution. Let the old version of you melt away. Fall into beauty. Become more you.

I want to be very clear that aging is not a bad thing - in fact, I think it's an honor! However, there is a way to grow older and accumulate vitality, harmony, and ease in the body instead of inflammation, exhaustion, and pain. Your triggers are aging you into patterns of restriction and fatigue, rather than light and beauty (your natural essence as a feminine being). I am going to share a bit about the biological stress response so that you understand what is going on in your nervous system when you are triggered. You'll quickly see that experiencing acute spikes of activation over and over again take an incredible amount of unnecessary energy... energy that could go towards rejuvenation in your body. Your triggers are aging you in a way that opposes your feminine core essence. Breathe, babe - it's not worth it.

Light Feminine Energy and Feminine Lightness are two separate concepts - Feminine Lightness results from keeping an open and unburdened energetic/emotional field. If you want to know how to lighten your feminine energy and stop being so heavy, it starts with feeling emotions in the body as they arise (rather than letting them accumulate). The accumulation of burdens, traumas, resentments, bitterness, etc creates a really dense energy field. How to lighten your feminine energy? Feel it and let it go! It's not worth your precious, flowing feminine radiance. Stop being so heavy and become the light, breezy, feminine gift that you know you are.

The mainstream messaging of manifestation is to create a positive inner dialogue, and the external world will respond accordingly. There is truth to this! However, when we ignore unpleasant emotions, sensations, and stored trauma in the body, they will just grow louder and louder in our subconscious until they are attended to. The good news is that you CAN manifest through your shadows. They can only be ignored for so long. If we can lovingly embrace what they have to share with us (WITH proper nervous system support), our shadows can be integrated and alchemized. This clears way for a lighter, brighter, more magnetic aura that will attract our most heartfelt desires to us. Manifest through your shadows and clear the way for more than you could ever dream of!

First of all, stress isn't inherently bad - in fact, it unleashes an incredible amount of energy to effectively meet threats! However, when experienced in large doses, stress works against feminine energy. Feminine energy, in essence, is overflow, radiance, and softness. When our stress response is overly activated, our precious energy reserves are depleted and we become exhausted, rigid, and brittle. This episodes offers some tips on how to be a queen and avoid burn out. Stress works against feminine energy because it creates rigidity and hyper diligence, rather than softness and openness. The good news is that you can be a queen and avoid burn out by putting some proper systems in place. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Tonny reached out to me because he was feeling stuck, heavy, and lethargic. He knew that something in his life needed to change, but he wasn't sure what it was or how to even go about it. After just a few weeks of learning about and soothing his nervous system, Tonny felt a huge weight lift in his body. He went from feeling like his 'heavy heart was glued to his bed' to feeling 'grounded, at peace, calm, and energized.' He generously shares his process and his story in this episode.

This video is for feminine beings, HD projectors, and entrepreneurs who are navigating how to spend their time and energy in work, relationships, and life in general. Key words - your energy is expensive! As HD Projectors, we don't have a lot of it to put towards things that take effort. As feminine beings - it's all about our juicy presence, which takes a lot of input to maintain. For my entrepreneurs that are looking to price their services, it's important to know the value of what you offer in every cell of your body! To charge at high price points, it's essential that you have expensive energy (infused in yourself or in a product).
Enjoy this exploration of value, worth, and investment.... and remember, your energy is expensive!

To embody the feminine melt, you must actually show up into your body and PRACTICE softness.
Stretch.
Breathe.
Let go of tension... literally.
Enough of the learning! Enough of the youtube binging! It's actually time to implement it, my love. When we are able to feel the feminine melt in our muscles, bones, and tissue, the masculine can then rise up to support us. If there is nothing to support, then why create a container?

We also talk bout common limiting beliefs around money, how the workaholic pattern lives in entrepreneurship, channeling success by connecting to a greater energetic field, how to manage stress admit high pressure period of life, and shifting the archetype of ‘the hard worker.’ Bri emphasizes how important it is for women to stop trading time for money, and to evolve into a different, more wealth-building way of working.

I had one of my amazing clients on the show to talk about her transformational journey from a daily life of monotony to inside-out alignment. Stuck in the mental stagnation of a 9 to 5 job that wasn’t bringing her spirit alive, Danielle felt bored, uninspired, drained, and not sure what to do about it. She was easily irritated, stuck in her head, and trapped in the same daily routine. She knew something had to change. After months of us working together, Danielle learned how to regulate her nervous system, connect with her heart, shift limiting beliefs, and started making massive changes in her life as a result. This conversation dives into her journey. It’s perfect for anyone who craves something different or new in their life!

As I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy, I find myself in reflection of the deep, transformational journey I've experienced throughout the past 9 months. In this episode, I talk about the perspective of manifestation from feminine energy components like softening, yielding, surrendering, glowing, & flowing. This is an intimate and soft episode, and will perhaps offer a healing balm to anyone who feels burned out from unbalanced levels of pushing, efforting, strategizing, and overcoming. Whether you are pregnant or not, this episode will offer value to anyone who wants to explore softer way of engaging with the creative forces of life.

She shares daily nervous system rituals that have helped her avoid burn out as a self employed entrepreneur and business owner. We also spend some time discussing how connecting with the heart isn’t always a warm & fuzzy experience - that it can be really intense and heavy for energetically sensitive people.

I believe that self love means full acceptance of ALL parts of us... not just the spaces that are desirable or 'easy.' In this episode, I explore how the practice of this radical self love can have a positive influence on our relationships... and thus the collective at large. Self love isn't selfish - it's essential to our planetary healing. After I offer my personal sharing and thoughts on this topic, I've included love letters written and recorded by several of my clients who were willing to share their voices with us. I hope you are touched as deeply as I was by what they have to say <3

When Lucy & I started working together six months ago, she was a self identified workaholic. Her sense of worth was determined by the external success of her business and she sacrificed her mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing to force the results she wanted. She embodied the essence of a helicopter parent - she was smothering the natural growth of her business with her obsessive thoughts, controlled actions, and rigid expectations.
Fast forward 6 months later, and Lucy has jumped into a whole new reality. Her business has quadrupled in revenue, celebrated its first six figure month, and is in the process of expanding a support team.
The most amazing part? Lucy has never rested more in her life. She takes guilt free naps, midday baths, and prioritizes her wellbeing above all else. She is quite literally working deliciously.

Surrender means letting go, yielding and giving up control. It is the opposite embodiment of activating, leading, strategizing, and pushing through. For many of us (especially high achievers), surrender can feel incredibly uncomfortable. In addition to going against the societal value of 'taking charge of our own lives,' loosening our grip on our careers, desires, and plans can be threatening to the survival aspect of our nervous system. In this solocast, I offer my thoughts on a few aspects of surrender - nervous system safety, masculine vs. feminine energy, surrender as a response, and the ability to feel our way into what we desire.
