Who are you becoming?
Jan 12, 2026
Hello Happy Human. đź‘‹
Here’s something I want you to sit with this week…
Every action you take is a vote for the person you’re becoming.
Not a giant promise.
Not a perfectly executed plan.
Just… a vote.
And I bring this up because I see so many parents quietly waiting for the BIG moment where they finally become the calm, regulated parent they want to be.
Like one day you’ll wake up and it’ll just… click.
But that’s not how change actually works.
You don’t suddenly wake up regulated, right?
You practice regulation in small, ordinary moments.
- The moment you pause instead of snapping.
- The moment you repair after you lose it.
- The moment you hold a boundary without yelling.
- The moment you soften instead of escalating.
None of those moments are flashy.
They don’t look impressive on Instagram.
Most of the time, they don’t even feel like progress.
But each one is a vote.
Because nervous systems don’t change through intention alone.
They change through action. Through evidence.
Every single small, regulated choice gives your nervous system proof that something different is possible.
And over time… that proof adds up.
A quick peek behind the scenes…
Inside The Happy Human Collective, we spend a lot of time practicing this exact work together (never perfectly, but consistently).
And based on feedback from our members, we’re starting something new this week:
✨ Regulation Reset Meetups ✨
These are meant to be short (yet POWERFUL), monthly spaces designed to:
- give your nervous system a breather
- help you offload some of the weight you’re carrying
- and gently increase capacity
Not more information.
Not more “things to do.”
Just space to pause.
It’s one of those small-but-powerful ways you can cast a vote for your regulated self
So if you’ve been craving something like that…
If you’re tired of doing this work alone…
If you want a space that actually understands nervous systems and real life…
You can join us in The Happy Human Collective risk-free for 7 days.

No pressure.
Just an invitation.
Either way, remember this:
Keep it small.
Keep it honest.
And keep casting those votes.
Each and every one counts more than you think.
Thanks for being here.
