Regulating & Raising
Regulating & Raising is a podcast for moms who want to feel calm, aligned, and in control again.
Hosted by MaKenzie, this show blends Human Design and nervous system support with real-life motherhood—so you can understand your energy, trust your decisions, and stop feeling like you’re constantly in survival mode.
Each episode is a mix of honest solo conversations and expert interviews, covering everything from emotional regulation and identity shifts to clean living, holistic health, and raising a family in a way that actually feels good.
This isn’t about doing more or getting it perfect.
It’s about learning how to regulate yourself while raising your kids—and building a life that works for your season.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or like there has to be a better way… you’re in the right place.
