The Yelling–Guilt Cycle
You’ve read the parenting books. You’ve learned the scripts.
You’ve told yourself, next time I’ll stay calm.
And then the moment happens.
The meltdown. The overwhelm. The reaction that comes faster than you expected. And afterward… the guilt.
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in that cycle — trying your best, but still reacting in ways that don’t feel aligned – you’re not alone.
Moving Beyond the Yelling–Guilt Cycle
Lorena’s TEDx talk on what happens in the “heat of the moment” has resonated with thousands of parents around the world.
In this conversation, we’re going deeper – beyond insight and into practical, real-life application.
This is not about adding more strategies.

Why This Matters
The hardest part of parenting isn’t knowing what to do.
It’s being able to do it in the moment.
When emotions rise, logic often disappears.
And without the right tools, we fall back into patterns we never meant to repeat.
This conversation is about creating a different path forward – one that feels calmer, more intentional, and more connected.
Event Format
The LiveTalk will commence with a 40-minute presentation toexploring the mindset and emotional patterns behind the yelling–guilt cycle, helping you understand what’s happening in high-stress parenting moments and why reactions take over.
