Do you ever feel completely overwhelmed by the beautiful chaos of your children? In this honest conversation, I share the reality of parental overstimulation - from morning meltdowns over the wrong bowl colour to feeling "touched out" at the end of the day.

We dive into the science behind why loving parents feel overwhelmed by their own kids, and I share 7 practical daily strategies that actually work with your nervous system instead of against it.

What You'll Learn:

  • The real-life scenarios of parental overstimulation (you're not alone!)
  • Why elevated cortisol makes you hypersensitive to noise, touch, and chaos
  • How modern parenting amplifies the stress response
  • Why complete silence doesn't help when you're overstimulated
  • 7 evidence-based daily practices to regulate your nervous system
  • How to manage overwhelm in real-time without guilt or shame

Perfect For:

  • Parents feeling overwhelmed by daily family chaos
  • Anyone who's ever snapped at their kids and felt guilty
  • Pregnant women wanting to understand what might come
  • Partners trying to understand parental overwhelm
  • Anyone who feels like they're "failing" at handling kid energy
