How Early Nurture Shapes Your Stress Response w/ Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum
What if the way you were nurtured as a baby still affects how you handle stress today? In this episode, Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD — neuroscientist, doula, and author — unpacks the science of how early nurture shapes your stress response and long-term emotional well-being.
We dive into the lifelong impact of early caregiving on the brain, nervous system, and our ability to self-regulate under pressure. Drawing from decades of research, Dr. Kirshenbaum shows that how early nurture shapes your stress response isn’t just theory—it’s biology. And the good news? Healing and repair are always possible.
