Small Steps, Strong Families With Samantha Ariza

Dr. Kate Lund welcomes licensed professional counselor and founder of Ariza Inspire Co, Samantha Ariza, to discuss practical ways of building family resilience when dealing with daily stress and trauma. High-achieving parents often find themselves caught in an endless cycle of performance and productivity, ignoring their own need to slow down. Samantha shares how her specialized work in EMDR therapy inspired her to create tools that help parents modulate their stress response and step back when capacity is exceeded. They discuss the powerful impact of modeling imperfection for our children, showing them that it's normal to feel scared or struggle sometimes. Through small, everyday actions, we can create a compounding effect that fosters long-term emotional strength within our households. This conversation offers a refreshing reminder that your worth isn't measured by your productivity, and that true coregulating connection begins with your own self-trust.Purchase Dr. Kate Lund's best-selling books, Step Away: The Keys to Resilient Parenting and Bounce: Help Your Child Build Resilience and Thrive in School, Sports and Life, or book a private consultation at katelundspeaks.com.Love the show?
