🎧Why Trying New Things Feels Like a Threat: The Neurospicy Brain & Change

🎧Why Trying New Things Feels Like a Threat: The Neurospicy Brain & Change

Why does trying anything new feel like your brain is short-circuiting? Why do school transitions make our kids fall apart—and why do we spiral right along with them?

In this episode of The NeuroSpicy MomPod, we’re breaking down the real neuroscience behind why our bodies react to change like it’s danger. We’ll talk about intolerance of uncertainty, the freeze response, Polyvagal Theory (with a healthy dose of nuance), and how executive dysfunction, sensory overwhelm, and PDA all play a role. And of course—we’ll dive into what actually helps. For you. For your kids. For your inner child who never got the support they needed.
