Juggling family, work, friends, hobbies and personal practices, like yoga, can feel like a constant balancing act. Between school runs, work commitments, meal prep, and endless to-do lists, it's easy to find ourselves reacting to our children's behavior rather than responding mindfully. In these moments, emotions can easily flare up, leading to feelings of guilt and frustration later. I’ve done it… and I bet you have too.

Ever feel like you’re being pulled onto someone else’s "Crazy Train?" You’re having a relatively calm day, everything’s just fine and then suddenly, here comes the boss with the frantic energy, the friend with the endless drama, or the parent detailing their latest medical crisis.

It’s 6:30 AM. The alarm blares—another early morning, another scramble to start the day. You hit snooze, hoping for just a few more minutes of rest, but the day has already begun its relentless march. Eyes half-closed, you stumble toward the coffee maker, already mentally juggling the list of tasks ahead.
