167 | Your Stress Is Fueling Your Child’s Eczema—Here’s How to Stop It

If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and carrying guilt over your child’s eczema, you’re not alone. But here’s what no one tells you—your stress is keeping them stuck.

We share a nervous system with our kids, which means our anxiety, frustration, and worry can actually slow their healing. That’s why I’m talking with Sweta Khanal, a clinical EFT practitioner, about how tapping (EFT) can help you release stress, calm your nervous system, and create the conditions for true healing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✔️ What EFT tapping is & how it helps with stress and guilt
✔️ How your nervous system affects your child’s healing
✔️ A simple tapping exercise you can start today

And if you’re stressed about skincare, The Eczema Shop has you covered with organic, preservative-free products designed to rebuild the skin barrier and nourish the microbiome.

We talk about navigating medical challenges, the unexpected eczema struggles that came with it, and the power of trusting your intuition as a mom.

This episode is full of so much hope and wisdom, and I can’t wait for you to hear it!

And if you’re looking for real, tangible guidance to help your child heal, I want to invite you to a LIVE Q&A session on March 6th at 10 AM MST (9 AM Pacific, 12 PM Eastern).
