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.

Motherhood Hits Different When Your Energy Runs Out Fast
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, I’m sharing something deeply honest — the kind of motherhood moment we usually keep to ourselves.
After several nights without sleep, a baby who couldn’t get comfortable, and a nervous system stretched way too thin, I spiraled into that place where every mom goes eventually…
Questioning my body.
Questioning my milk.
Questioning my intuition.
Questioning if I was doing anything right.
And the truth is: nothing was wrong with me.
My nervous system was just overwhelmed, exhausted, and trying to protect me.
Inside this episode, we explore:
✨ why motherhood feels so loud for sensitive, soft-hearted moms
✨ how sleep deprivation creates false stories in our minds
✨ why your energy runs out faster than other moms — and why that’s okay
✨ what your baby’s behavior actually means
✨ how to calm your nervous system while you’re in the thick of it
✨ how to mother in your natural rhythm instead of forcing someone else’s
✨ the moment I found clarity again
If you’ve been overstimulated, burnt out, or feeling “not enough,” this is your soft landing place.
You’re not failing.
Your energy just needs a gentler path — and I’m here to walk it with you.
