In this episode of The Inner Work of Motherhood, we explore what happens when a mother’s nervous system becomes overloaded: the overstimulation, anger, irritability, and wanting to disappear.

You’ll learn how sensory overwhelm shows up in the body, why anger and reactivity are actually protective responses, and how to gently guide your body and mind back into balance. 

Through somatic tools, mindful awareness, and compassionate insight, this conversation helps you move from overstimulation to inner steadiness - so you can feel more grounded, present, and connected to yourself and your children.

In this episode:

• Understanding maternal overstimulation and sensory overload
• Why we feel “touched out” and what to do about it
• Somatic and mindfulness practices to regulate and release tension
• The deeper roots of moms feeling constantly on edge

If you’ve ever found yourself snapping, withdrawing, or feeling like your senses are on fire, this episode will help you find your way back home to your body and your calm, resilient heart.
