The Happy Nervous System
A happy nervous system is a happy life.
This isn’t your typical mental health podcast. We’re throwing out dusty textbook advice and getting real about what your body actually needs to feel more regulated, more powerful, and more alive!
Hosted by therapist and nervous system translator Kendra Delahooke, whose work bridges clinical insight with real-life tools to get you unstuck.
She’s the founder of Child Therapy Center LA and she’s on a mission to raise a generation of kids who don’t have to recover from childhood.
Each episode unpacks why so many techniques in therapy, parenting, and relationships fall short—and what your nervous system has been craving instead.
If you’ve ever wondered why you know better but can’t do better… this show is your missing link.

Episode 12: Re-thinking Selfishness and Why it’s Essential to Make Yourself a Priority
Why do we demonize selfishness? In this episode I discuss why choosing to be selfish isn’t only a good thing but a necessary part of robust mental health. This episode applies to everyone but this topic is especially important for all of the parents out there! Parenting from a place of burnout, stress, and anxiety can actually backfire. Tune in to this episode to learn about why emotional health is like financial health and how choosing to prioritize yourself can lead to better relationships.
