85. Why Single Parents Struggle With Emotional Triggers—and How to Anchor Calm in the Moment

"This episode first aired under the original name, The Parenting Reset Show. Now we are the Single Parenting Reset podcast–supporting single parents of tweens and teens with real talk on screen time, communication and managing behavior."

Do you find yourself snapping at your child, then feeling awful—and wondering how to stop this emotional cycle?

In this raw and relatable episode, Tess and parenting coach Beth explore the all-too-familiar cycle of trigger → react → regret, and what single parents can do to shift out of it for good. Beth introduces NLP strategies like anchoring to help you respond more calmly, even in the heat of a parenting storm.

• Learn what emotional triggers really are and how they silently control your reactions.
• Discover how to create an anchor that helps you stay calm and grounded—even during meltdowns.
• Understand why self-compassion isn’t selfish—it’s the parenting skill you’re likely missing.

Press play now to learn how to stop reacting and start parenting with calm, confidence, and compassion—even on your hardest days.
