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!

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the MIS for Mama podcast. I'm your host, Abby Halberstadt, happy wife,
0:09.5	mama to 10, Bible believing Christian. And on today's show, I want to tackle a topic that has been bubbling to the service on social media. I keep seeing reels and posts about it.
0:18.4	It's something that I talk about in my face-to-face, quote-unquote, in real life community. And I think it's something that's going to be really relevant to any woman out there, any listener, especially any mama out there. It's so relevant to me today. And I'll explain exactly why this is a topic that was at the top of my mind today, even right before I started this podcast in just a second.
0:41.9	But before we get started, I want to talk about our podcast sponsor, Voteberg Music Academy,
0:43.5	not your average music lessons.
0:49.9	You can get 20% off each month that you're enrolled in online lessons with Vote Book Music Academy with the code MS for Mama.
0:52.4	And you can even share lessons between siblings so that your cost per month is often less
0:57.6	than $30.
0:58.8	That price sure beats private lessons, which are often quite expensive.
1:02.4	And it also gives you access to live teachers, 24-hour access to your online lessons, a
1:09.1	warm and thriving community, and even lessons from a video
1:12.3	vault where you can have extra lessons provided for you if you want to move ahead quickly.
1:16.7	They provide lessons in mandolin, guitar, violin, piano, and ukulele.
1:21.1	So you have your pick of quite a few different instruments.
1:23.7	And it is just such a fun and engaging way.
1:26.2	As a parent, you don't want to be nagging your child about practicing,
1:29.4	and you won't have to worry about that with Votebird Music Academy
1:31.9	and the way they make your students want to learn their music well.
1:36.1	You can use the code again, M is for Mama for 20% off at Votebird Musicacademy.com.
1:41.8	I'll put all that info in the show notes for you today.
1:44.7	All right, guys, so what is this topic that I keep hearing about? I'll say it in one word.
1:50.7	And then we'll dive into it. The topic is oversimulation. So this is something that I see
