The Livin'Sky Podcast
Welcome to The Livin’Sky Podcast, where whole-child wellness meets real-life parenting.
I'm Lena Livinsky, pediatric speech-language pathologist, holistic feeding specialist, and mom. I help you understand what your child's body, behavior, and development are really telling you. Because whether it shows up as picky eating, meltdowns, sleep struggles, or something that just feels "off"... your child isn't the problem. Their body is communicating.
When you learn how to listen, everything starts to shift.
Each episode goes beyond surface-level advice to look at the full picture: biology-informed feeding, nervous system regulation, gut health, oral motor development, and the small shifts at home that create real change.
This podcast is for the mom who is done with quick fixes and ready for real answers.
✨ Let’s Livin’Sky together.

Nervous System Healing for Picky Eaters, Anxious Kids, and Stressed-Out Parents with Jen McNerney

What if your child’s behavior isn’t the problem… but the message?
In this powerful episode of The Livin’Sky Podcast, Lena is joined by Jen McNerney, a trauma-informed somatic practitioner, former SLP, and nervous system expert, for a conversation that will change the way you see your child.
Jen blends science, intuition, and real-world motherhood to help families support kids with anxiety, developmental trauma, sensory issues, and more. Together, Lena and Jen explore what’s underneath behavior challenges and how emotional regulation, airway health, fascia, and nervous system safety are at the root of it all.
You’ll learn:
- Why nervous system dysregulation is often the missing piece behind picky eating, tantrums, and resistance
- What NeuroEmotional Technique (NET) is and how Jen uses it to transform stress in the body, including food-related anxiety and gag reflexes
- Why fascia, tongue ties, and airway issues often go undiagnosed in kids… and what to look for
- Simple regulation tools you can use right now to connect with your child and support healing
From one mom and SLP to another, this episode is packed with practical insight, lived wisdom, and the kind of real conversation our community craves.
Don’t miss Jen’s final piece of advice, it might be the most important reminder you hear all week.
