So many new parents (moms especially) experience exhaustion and overstimulation in early parenting. Some struggle more in the baby year with the higher level of touch and sleep disruption. Some struggle more in the toddler years with the increased chaos that often comes with toddlerhood. While these are common experiences, it doesn’t mean we have to struggle with no way to support ourselves through them. In this episode I’m joined by Sara Sandland, a wellness coach for moms, to talk about exhaustion and overstimulation. 

We talk through what’s normal tiredness or overstimulation (we all experience these sometimes) verses what’s a sign that you could use some additional support and strategies. Sarah also introduces the bucket theory, a way of looking at what adds to our overwhelm, exhaustion, and overstimulation verses what lightens our load and nourishes our energy. We also talk through some ways to better support yourself when you are feeling exhausted and overstimulated.
