Ever feel like you’re constantly running on empty… snapping when you don’t mean to… or wishing you could just hit “reset” on your day?

In this episode of the Secrets of Supermom Show, I’m joined by Layne Burkette—mom of four, author, licensed professional counselor, and yoga psychology and meditation teacher—to talk about simple, powerful ways to regulate your nervous system in real life.

Because here’s the truth: You can’t think your way out of stress—but you can support your body through it.

For over 20 years, Layne has helped moms, families, and caregivers reconnect with calm, connection, and emotional balance through somatic practices, breathwork, yoga, meditation, and counseling tools. Her approach blends science, psychology, and embodied healing—while keeping everything simple and accessible for real life.

In this conversation, she shares practical, bite-sized tools (what she calls “micro-pauses”) that help you move from overwhelm to calm in as little as 30–90 seconds—no extra time required.

We also walk through several guided exercises you can try right along with us to feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control—fast.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

  •  Why your nervous system is the key to patience and calm 
  •  The difference between reacting vs. responding 
  •  Simple breath and movement techniques you can use anywhere 
  •  How your state impacts your kids (and how to shift it) 
  •  Easy ways to build calm into your daily routine 

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or just “on edge”… this episode will give you tools you can use today.
