On this episode we talk about some pretty heavy life feelings: anxiety, overstimulation and the mental load.  We discuss what type of anxiety we experience, what causes our anxiety and how we handle it.  Our anxiety is reflected in household chaos and intrusive thoughts that no one ever talks about. Are you fight, flight or freeze?

oVeRsTiMuLaTeD is a word that we use in our families A LOT.  Our girls can pick up queues when we are overstimulated and understand that the dog scratching to go out might just send Marley over the edge.  We both experience being overstimulated in different ways. Marley gets overstimulated by sounds and noises while Mellany is overstimulated by constantly being touched.  Sometimes being touched out can be exhausting!

The mental load of motherhood is something that can really be overlooked.  There are so many thoughts, appointments, meals, laundry, etc. that need to get done and that often falls on us as moms. Our husbands are great helps, but also, we don’t want to have to ask for help or think for them.  Moms just know what needs to be done and when library books are due and how to correctly fold a bath towel.  

We are glad you’re here! We hope you enjoy!
