Nervous System Healing for Picky Eaters, Anxious Kids, and Stressed-Out Parents with Jen McNerney
What if your child’s behavior isn’t the problem… but the message?
In this powerful episode of The Livin’Sky Podcast, Lena is joined by Jen McNerney, a trauma-informed somatic practitioner, former SLP, and nervous system expert, for a conversation that will change the way you see your child.
Jen blends science, intuition, and real-world motherhood to help families support kids with anxiety, developmental trauma, sensory issues, and more. Together, Lena and Jen explore what’s underneath behavior challenges and how emotional regulation, airway health, fascia, and nervous system safety are at the root of it all.
You’ll learn:
- Why nervous system dysregulation is often the missing piece behind picky eating, tantrums, and resistance
- What NeuroEmotional Technique (NET) is and how Jen uses it to transform stress in the body, including food-related anxiety and gag reflexes
- Why fascia, tongue ties, and airway issues often go undiagnosed in kids… and what to look for
- Simple regulation tools you can use right now to connect with your child and support healing
From one mom and SLP to another, this episode is packed with practical insight, lived wisdom, and the kind of real conversation our community craves.
Don’t miss Jen’s final piece of advice, it might be the most important reminder you hear all week.
