Why You’re Snapping (and How to Stop): Dysregulation, Co-Regulation, and Early Parenthood with Manu Brune

Early parenthood can fry your nervous system.Hello overstimulation, zero bandwidth, and snapping at your partner or kids. In this conversation, Chelsea and parent coach Manu Brune break down what co-regulation actually looks like between partners and with your baby, and how small, body-based tools help you move from survival mode to a livable rhythm. We name the signs of dysregulation (short fuse, shutdown, spirals), why routines can help or hurt, and how to use simple anchors—breath, movement, flexible rituals—to bring your system back online. We also talk about the pressure to do it all, and why community lets you “borrow calm” when yours is gone. If you’ve thought, “I should be handling this better,” this episode shows you how to build capacity instead of guilt.More about Manu and Beyond Birth Basics:Insta: Beyond Birth Basics: Parenting Reimagined (@beyondbirthbasics) • Instagram photos and videosWebsite:Beyond Birth Basics | Coaching in Columbus, OHPreorder her book: Book | Beyond Birth BasicsWork with Postpartum Together:Insta:Chelsea Skaggs || Relationship Coach for Parents (@postpartumtogether) • Instagram photos and videosCurrent Offerings:Chelsea Skaggs CoachingBook a free connection call : Calendlynervous system regulationco-regulationcoregulation in relationshipsdysregulation after babypostpartum nervous systemoverstimulation momsnapping at your partneryelling at your kidssurvival mode parentingparent burnoutpostpartum anxietyemotional regulation for parentsnervous system support for new parentsnervous system resetnervous system healing after birthrelationship after babyteamwork in parenthoodemotional safety in relationshipscalm communication in marriagerebuilding connection after babyparenting rhythm not routineflexible family routinesgrounding exercises for parentsmindfulness for moms and dadscapacity not perfectionborrowing calmmodern parenting pressureregulating togetherearly parenthood overwhelmpostpartum mental health
