S3 Episode 20: The Work I Didn't Know I Needed Until I Reach My Limit - A Mother's Journey Into Nervous System Healing with Dr Kylie Foster

June 04, 20263 min read

Welcome back to My Mighty Quinn

In this deeply personal episode, I’m joined by Dr Kylie Foster — neurologically focused chiropractor, founder of Organic Family Chiropractic, and someone who has become an incredibly important part of both mine and Quinn’s healing journey.

This conversation is different.

Because one of the questions I’m asked again and again by parents is:
“What did you actually do?”
“Who helped you?”
“What has your journey really looked like behind the scenes?”

And the truth is, one of the most foundational pieces of our healing journey has been nervous system work.

Together, Dr Kylie and I explore why nervous system regulation is not a “nice extra” in healing — but the foundation upon which everything else rests.

Because when the body is stuck in survival mode…
When a child’s nervous system is overwhelmed…
When a mother’s body has been living in chronic stress for years…

Healing becomes much harder.

This episode is an honest, compassionate and eye-opening conversation about what nervous system dysregulation actually looks like in babies, children and parents — and how neurologically focused chiropractic care can help restore safety, regulation and resilience to the entire family system.

Key takeaways

  • What neurologically focused chiropractic care actually is — and how it differs from traditional chiropractic approaches

  • Why nervous system regulation is foundational for digestion, immunity, emotional regulation, behaviour and healing

  • How chronic stress and “fight or flight” impact both children and parents

  • Why babies may struggle with latching, feeding, reflux, tension, sleep and regulation after stressful pregnancies or births

  • The early signs of nervous system stress parents can look out for in new-borns and young children

  • How nervous system dysregulation can evolve into anxiety, sensory issues, emotional dysregulation, attention difficulties and behavioural challenges later in childhood

  • The importance of co-regulation and why children borrow safety from the nervous systems around them

  • How nervous system work can help increase resilience, adaptability and emotional capacity for the whole family

  • Why healing is not about “fixing” children — but helping their nervous systems feel safe enough to heal

This episode is both deeply educational and profoundly emotional.

It’s a conversation about motherhood.
About survival.
About the body keeping score.
And about the possibility of healing when we finally understand that nervous system support is not optional — it is foundational.

If you’ve ever felt like your child’s struggles are deeper than “just behaviour”…
If you’ve been holding everything together while quietly falling apart yourself…
Or if you’ve sensed there’s a missing piece nobody has properly explained…

This episode is for you.
