Parenting Through Connection with Megan
Welcome to “Parenting Through Connection” with Megan Lachance, a podcast where we dive into the real struggles and complexities of parenting with honesty, hope, and practical strategies. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of raising kids while juggling life’s demands, you're not alone.
Each episode explores both sides of the parenting journey: managing stress and societal expectations, and building strong, meaningful relationships with your children. We’ll talk about the tough stuff; the things people don’t want to talk about or try to hide yet everyone experiences, the moments of feeling stuck and the times when parenting doesn’t feel like the dream you imagined…the ‘hidden’ parts of parenting that results in yelling, anger & sometimes even rage. Through relatable stories, mini coaching sessions, and actionable tips, Megan will help you break through the barriers that keep you feeling stuck, offering support and encouragement to help you find balance.
Parenting doesn’t have to be a daily struggle. Let’s normalize the challenges, let go of shame, and discover ways to enjoy the journey while strengthening your connection with your kids. So tune into “Parenting Through Connection” for a dose of hope, real talk, and the support you need to thrive as a parent.

Episode 11: Before the Routine: Why Nervous System Care Comes First
Picture this: your summer started with high hopes. You had a plan, maybe even a visual schedule, and a list of fun activities to check off with your kids. Fast forward to mid-summer and, instead of feeling fulfilled, you’re burnt out, overstimulated, and maybe even a little resentful. Does this scene sound familiar? If so, you're not alone and you're not doing things wrong. In this episode of Parenting Through Connection, we’re exploring why routines can sometimes backfire and how shifting into a rhythm rooted in connection might be exactly what your nervous system (and your family) needs.
Here’s what you’ll take away from today’s conversation:
- Why you can’t “out-schedule: a dysregulated nervous system and what to do instead.
- The difference between a rigid routine and a flexible, connection-focused rhythm.
- How to use anchors in your day to create calm without control.
- Practical ways to shift your summer from chaos to connection.
- A look into my free Calm Summer Rhythm Guide to help you bring this all to life.
You’re not alone and you’re doing better than you think. Remember, your goal isn’t to have the perfect summer, it’s to have a connected summer. Don’t underestimate the power of small shifts and a little self-compassion. If you’re in need of support on this journey, I’m here.
