In today’s episode, I sit down with Jennifer Heil — Olympic champion, entrepreneur, and mother.

Why Do I Yell at My Kids? (It’s Not What You Think)

Why do we yell at our kids even when we don’t want to? In this episode, we explore yelling from a nervous system perspective — not discipline, not willpower, and not guilt. You’ll learn what’s actually happening in your body in the moment you lose control, why yelling is often a reflex rather than a choice, and the hidden pressures and expectations that make everyday parenting moments feel overwhelming. This conversation is for moms and parents who love their kids deeply but feel exhausted, overstimulated, or disappointed in their reactions. You’re not broken. Your nervous system ran out of capacity. A companion episode shares a simple repair script for what to say and do after you yell.

The Science of Creating Joy in Motherhood

In this episode, we explore the science of joy in motherhood and why happiness is not something you stumble upon once life gets calmer, more organized, or less demanding. It’s something the brain and nervous system can be trained to notice, experience, and sustain — even in the middle of chaos. We break down what neuroscience and physiology actually say about joy, why the brain is wired to overlook small moments of goodness, and how motherhood can either amplify stress or become one of the most powerful environments for cultivating well-being. This conversation is about reclaiming joy in practical, grounded ways — learning how presence, attention, and regulation turn ordinary moments into meaningful ones. Joy doesn’t require more time, more sleep, or a different life. It begins with learning how to see what’s already there. 🔗 FOLLOW TANIA ST-LAURENT & MAMA REWIREDInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/mama_rewired/YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@mamarewiredWebsite – https://taniastl.comABOUT MAMA REWIREDMama Rewired is a science-backed, mind–body podcast exploring performance, nervous system regulation, identity shifts, and what it truly means to live fully — in motherhood and beyond.Subscribe for conversations that rewire how you see parenthood, health, and yourself.

You Don’t Hate Motherhood — You Hate the Story You Were Given

When a woman becomes a mother, she doesn’t just give birth to a child, she inherits a set of stories. Stories about exhaustion, sacrifice, and losing herself. Stories that quietly shape how she thinks, feels, and experiences motherhood before she’s even aware of them. In this episode, we explore the scripts women absorb when they step into motherhood, how those narratives impact the nervous system, the body, and identity — and why so many of them are not truths, but learned beliefs. Because the same way fear is passed down, it can be questioned. The same way limiting stories are inherited, they can be rewritten. This conversation is an invitation to become conscious of the stories you’re living by — and to remember that you have agency. You have choice. You have the power to change the narrative of your life and your motherhood. Motherhood doesn’t have to be lived on autopilot. You get to decide the story you embody. 🔗 FOLLOW TANIA ST-LAURENT & MAMA REWIREDInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/mama_rewired/YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@mamarewiredWebsite – https://taniastl.comABOUT MAMA REWIREDMama Rewired is a science-backed, mind–body podcast exploring performance, nervous system regulation, identity shifts, and what it truly means to live fully — in motherhood and beyond.Subscribe for conversations that rewire how you see parenthood, health, and yourself.

How Fatherhood changes a man who has climbed the highest summits on Earth

I sit down with my husband, Seb Audy — explorer, mountaineer, and father. Having climbed some of the highest summits in the world, Seb has spent years navigating extreme environments where clarity, risk assessment, and presence are not optional. But fatherhood reshaped his inner world in ways no expedition ever could. We talk about: ❄️ What exploration teaches about responsibility and presence ❄️ How fatherhood changes a man who lives with risk ❄️ Identity shifts after becoming a parent ❄️ Holding ambition while building a family ❄️ The quiet, internal work behind strength and resilience ❄️ What it really means to explore — externally and internally Seb’s perspective offers a rare look into the inner world of a man balancing exploration, purpose, and fatherhood. This conversation goes beyond adventure and into the human experience of responsibility, love, and meaning.
