Summary
Have you ever credited your frustration or overwhelm in a particular situation to “overstimulation?” If so, join the club!
“Overstimulation” seems to be the word for mothers on social media (and many in-person interactions too). And it’s easy to understand why with so many things grabbing for our attention on top of a need to love and care for our families well.
The good news is there is hope in the midst of the overwhelm, and we don’t have to be slaves to the things that make our brains feel like they’re full of bees.
In this episode we’ll talk about the reality of feeling overstimulated (it’s not all in your head!) but also tackle practical ways to combat it with both compassion and grit.
Be encouraged that “overstimulated” is not where you have to stay, friends!
