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 12: Why Your Nervous System Actually Matters in Parenting
You’ve read the parenting books, tried the tools, maybe even printed out the charts, but still find yourself snapping, zoning out, or feeling overstimulated more often than you’d like. Sound familiar? In this episode of Parenting Through Connection, we’re diving into why the nervous system, not just your mindset or your parenting skills, is at the heart of how we show up with our kids. We’ll talk about how your body responds to stress, why that matters so much more than we’re often taught, and what it actually looks like to parent from a place of connection instead of survival.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
- Why your body’s stress response matters more than any parenting script.
- What nervous system regulation really looks like (hint: it’s not about being calm all the time.)
- How your kids borrow your nervous system and what true co-regulation means.
- Small shifts to bring you back to a grounded, connected state, even on hard days.
You don’t have to wait until everything’s perfect to feel better. Tiny moments of regulation add up. If this episode resonated, share it with a friend or check out my coaching and course resources on my website to go deeper, or send me a message. You’re doing better than you think!
