As moms, we are constantly being bombarded with everyone’s needs, being touched, clutter all around us, loud noises, and sensory stimuli. 

And it can be, well, OVERWHELMING. 

Getting irritated, even angry, when it all becomes too much is not a sign that you are a bad mom, but rather a sign that you are overstimulated. 

In this episode, you’ll learn how you can structure your day to LOWER your chances of overstimulation, as well as what you can do if and when it does happen.

Part one of the two-part series on overstimulation. In this episode, we dive into what overstimulation is, what causes it, and why so many mom’s experience it.

Sometimes when our kids (or ourselves) are faced with a challenge, we lose control over our own emotions.

We panic. We freak out. We can’t see a solution.

In this episode, I am sharing a trick I found that has helped de-escalate meltdowns in my daughter, but has also been incredibly helpful for me as well.

As kids, we all loved to play. Life was full of adventures, joy, and silliness. 

But as we grow up and take on more responsibility, that ability to play starts to fade away. 

In this episode, I’m sharing why we all need to add more playfulness into our lives to help us be even better parents, and have less stress and more energy.

It starts with something setting you off, like your child having a massive meltdown, causing you to lose your cool and yell at them, which makes you feel really awful and brings up fears of inadequacy and shame….

Sound familiar? 

In this episode, we talk about WHY moms yell, and WHY kids misbehave, and how the two are more closely connected than you may realize.
