From Reactivity to Responding: A 90-Second Reset

[upbeat music] I am Anna Sewald, and this is Authentic Parenting, a podcast about growing ourselves while raising our children.

I'm a psychologist, educator, and parent coach.

My mission is to end violence against children.

Through my work and this podcast, I help parents break generational cycles of trauma, reconnect with their authentic selves, and raise emotionally healthy children.

Together, we've built a global community of conscious parents who want something different for the next generation.

Join us as we create a more peaceful, kind, and compassionate world.

Today, from reactivity to responding, a 90-second reset.

Hello, I am Gillian Pransky.

I am the author of The Power of the Pause.

I am now a yoga teacher and a mindfulness guide for 30 years.

I'm the mother currently of a 23-year-old and a brand-new pup, and I am really excited to be here together.

Imagine that in just 90 seconds you can step out of the stress loop and into a grounded, centered presence, able to meet whatever is happening with intention and compassion.

In today's episode, my guest shares her Lar Lar method, a simple, practical way to pause, reset, and respond with more intention, kindness, and clarity.

If you are into mindfulness and meditation, this will especially resonate with you.

But if you're not, it will still be a helpful conversation.

This episode pairs beautifully with the last week's conversation on how to heal a dysregulated nervous system, so be sure to check that out as well.
