Feeling touched out as a mom is so real — and so under-talked about.
In this episode, we’re diving into what it means to feel touched out, how overstimulation affects your connection in marriage and motherhood, and what to do when your nervous system is begging for a break.

Host Chelsea Skaggs (mom, relationship coach, and author of upcoming release: Talk Like a Team) shares her personal story of being physically and emotionally maxed out after baby #2, the guilt she had around asking for space, and the empowering communication shifts that helped her find herself again.

You'll learn:

• What "touched out" really means — and why it’s more than just being tired

• How sensory overload impacts intimacy, connection, and mental health

• Ways to set physical boundaries without shutting your family out

• Language upgrades that help you advocate for your needs without guilt or blame

• Why this isn’t a sign of failure — but a powerful cue for self-care

Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, working mom, or somewhere in between, this episode will help you name what you’re feeling, normalize the need for space, and give you tools to reconnect with yourself and your people.
