It slows us down. It strips us bare. And confronts us with parts of ourselves we didn’t even know were still running the show. In this deeply nourishing conversation, I sit down with internationally recognised mindfulness educator, trauma-informed coach and the founder of Inner Design™, Rubina Chadha, to explore what it really means to come home to yourself, through motherhood, through intimacy, and through the breath. We talk about sleep deprivation and nervous system overwhelm. About over-giving, depletion, and losing yourself in the relentless pace of modern life. About how our children mirror our unhealed parts and how parenting can become one of the most profound spiritual initiations we will ever walk through. Rubina shares powerful, practical tools for emotional regulation and embodied presence, including micro-mindfulness practices you can use in the middle of a chaotic day. We explore how breath-work can regulate your emotions in real time, how intimacy begins within your own body, and why true connection requires presence, not performance. We explore: How motherhood becomes a gateway to reparenting your inner child The nervous system science behind breath and emotional regulation Why intimacy is an internal experience first, not something someone else gives you How unresolved stress quietly limits your life force and creativity And simple grounding practices to return you to yourself in minutes This is a conversation about clearing the debris of old conditioning. About reclaiming intimacy, not just in partnership, but with your own breath, your own truth, and your own energy. Because when you learn to be deeply present with yourself, everything changes. And that is where real intimacy begins. === GUEST LINKS: Website: http://theinne… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-ecology-of-intimacy-podcast-sex-love-intimacy-relationship-coaching-for-women-and-mothers-7039806/episodes/from-overwhelm-to-embodied-power-in-motherhood-reparenting-your-inner-child-reclaiming-your-energy-regulating-your-nervous-system-with-rubina-chadha/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ecology-of-intimacy-podcast-sex-love-intimacy-relationship-coaching-for-women-and-mothers-7039806/from-overwhelm-to-embodied-power-in-motherhood-reparenting-your-inner-child-reclaiming-your-energy-regulating-your-nervous-system-with-rubina-chadha.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
