Break the Cycle.
Light a New Path.
with Chandra Zas
We cannot pass down what we do not possess.
Whether you are raising a child or reparenting yourself, the work is the same: embodied presence, regulated nervous systems, and the courage to heal.
This isn't about perfection. It's about presence. It's about learning to regulate your own nervous system so you can stop reacting from your primal brain and start responding from wisdom. It's about healing your relationship with food so you're not buffering with snacks when stress hits.
It's about breaking generational cycles—for the kids.

The Handbook for Human Potential: Your Roadmap to Breaking Cycles
Get Your Copy of the Handbook
“Handbook for Human Potential” – An accessible guide featuring 18 pioneering voices in wellness.
Two chapters. Two pathways. One destination: freedom from the patterns that no longer serve you—or your kids.
Chapter 0: Welcome Home to Your Body Wisdom
Discover functional embodiment practices that help you tune into your body’s signals instead of overriding them. Learn to regulate your nervous system through somatic awareness, so you can stop yelling at your kids and start responding from a grounded, centered place.
Chapter 10: Mood Before Food
Learn the food psychology behind emotional eating. Understand why you reach for snacks when stress hits, and how to retrain your cravings so you’re nourishing yourself instead of buffering. This chapter teaches you to address your mood first—then your food choices naturally shift.
Be the Change.
The Legacy We Leave is the Life We Live.
You’ve reached the moment where “enough is enough.” The patterns stop with you.
Maybe you see your own anxiety reflected in your child’s eyes.
Maybe you feel the weight of generational pain in your own body.
Maybe you are simply tired of the old ways of coping.
For years, the “solution” for stressed parents was to Check Out—wine, scrolling, numbing the noise.
But a new wave of parents is choosing to Tune In.
You are exploring “Brain Changers”—microdosing, plant medicine, deep breathwork—to expand your consciousness and find a new way of being.
But here is the truth: An expanded mind cannot live in a constricted body.
If you have the epiphany on the weekend but return to a dysregulated nervous system on Monday, nothing changes for your kids.
Later never comes. They are absorbing your nervous system right now. You must be the change you wish to see in them.
Stop the Pain Cycle
You can’t teach nervous system regulation if yours is dysregulated. You can’t model healthy food psychology if you’re using emotional eating to cope. You can’t break generational trauma by repeating the same patterns your parents handed you.
The shift happens when you stop trying to control their behavior and start regulating your own. When you stop yelling because you’ve learned to process the stress in your body before it erupts. When you stop buffering with food, screens, or substances because you’ve developed tools for emotional stress that actually work.
This is somatic parenting: embodying the peace, presence, and regulation you want your kids to inherit. Not someday. Right now. Because they’re watching. And what you do—not what you say—becomes their blueprint.
For the Kids.
The Three Pillars of Breaking Generational Cycles
A proven path from nervous system dysregulation to embodied presence, grounded in food psychology, somatic healing, and functional embodiment.

The Primal Brain
When you yell at your kids, it's not because you're a bad parent. It's because your primal brain is running the show. Understand the nervous system regulation triggers behind your reactions, and learn to rewire your responses so you can break the cycle of generational trauma.

The Four Pillars of Breaking Generational Cycles
A proven path from nervous system dysregulation to embodied presence, grounded in food psychology, somatic healing, and functional embodiment.
Mood Before Food
You can’t out-eat your stress. You’ll learn tools to regulate the mood states that drive emotional eating. When stress softens, food shifts happen naturally.
Food Reset
Most “healthy” foods are just clever marketing. We’ll retrain your taste buds to crave real food that satisfies and energizes instead of depletes.
Functional Embodiment
Learn to trust your gut, decode true body cues, and talk back to the dopamine-driven toddler brain. Tap into your body-wisdom for aligned actions. This skill lasts a lifetime.
Real Parents. Real Stories. Real Transformation.
These are the stories of people who chose to stop the patterns—for the kids.

Your Kids Are Watching. What Will They Learn from You?
You can keep repeating the patterns—yelling when stressed, using food to cope, passing down the same nervous system dysregulation you inherited. Or you can choose to break the cycle. Right now. Not when you have more time. Not when life calms down. Now. Because they’re absorbing your nervous system today.
Let’s talk about which path—Mood Before Food or Functional Embodiment—will help you break the cycle fastest.
