Root & Reach – Episode 6 - Why You Flip Your Lid—and What to Do About It

Understanding your brain, your teen’s brain, and how to calm the chaos when everything feels like too much.

🎙️ You know that moment—you’re totally calm one second, then suddenly you’re yelling about wet towels on the floor or slamming the dishwasher like it personally offended you? Welcome to the world of flipped lids, my friend.

In this episode of Root & Reach, I unpack what’s really happening when you “flip your lid”—aka when your logical brain checks out and your survival brain takes over. Using the science of the brain, a touch of humor, and a whole lot of compassion, we get curious (not critical) about these moments—and what they’re trying to teach us.

You’ll learn:

🧠 What “flipping your lid” actually means (and why it’s totally normal)
💥 Why your teen knows exactly how to press your buttons (and what that says about your bond)
🛠️ How to repair after a flip—and why repair is more important than perfection
🌱 Tools to recognize your triggers and respond with intention (yes, even when you’re running on fumes)

Whether you’re fresh off a flip or trying to prevent the next one, this episode will help you feel more human, more hopeful, and way less alone.

👉 Listen now, then let me know: What’s one thing that tends to flip your lid—and what helps bring you back?
