💎Overall Wellness Episode

💜Learn About Reconnect!

Being overstimulated or touched out is a common sensation experienced by mothers. Scientifically speaking - sensory overload is when your five senses take in more information than your brain can process. This causes your brain to enter fight flight or freeze mode. 

This can make you extremely irritable, restless, and can cause you to shut down or completely disengage from conversations or tasks. In this episode, you'll learn strategies to manage sensory overload.

Self Care doesn’t necessarily mean doing things by yourself. Social Wellness is a core part of an overall wellness approach to self care. How you create and maintain relationships is important, so activities that allow you to connect with others should be part of your self care routine.

Alone time is also important. Intentional solitude when you can reflect on your growth, reconnect with yourself and renew your outlook on life. Too often, we, as mothers, fill that time with things to avoid the stillness or because we do not value the stillness over the rest of the priority list.

In this episode, you'll learn the importance of stillness and how to incorporate it into your self care routine.
