Show Notes

EP:155 Hey y’all, it’s Dr. B! In this episode, I’m getting real about the rollercoaster of emotions and sensory overload that comes with the back-to-school transition—for both our kids and ourselves. I share my own journey as a parent, from craving structure to embracing the beautiful chaos of summer, and how I’ve learned to support my children (and myself) through big changes. We dive into why our brains crave routine, how to spot sensory struggles in your kids, and practical ways to create a sensory safe zone at home and advocate for one at school. I also talk about prepping for smoother mornings, building in calming rituals, and the power of repair and self-compassion when things don’t go as planned. Remember, it’s okay to give yourself grace—these first few weeks are all about support, not perfection.

If you found this episode helpful, please share it with a fellow parent, leave a review, and let me know your favorite back-to-school tip! Let’s make this school year a little smoother, together.
