Do you ever feel like if one more person touches you, whines at you, or makes a sound, you might just explode? Yeah, you’re not broken—you’re just dealing with sensory overload, and it is very real when you're raising tiny humans.
In this episode, I break down what sensory overload actually looks and feels like (spoiler: it’s not just about noise), and how it sneaks up on parents who are constantly touched, tugged on, talked at, and surrounded by chaos. From the endless “Mommy mommy mommy!” loops to stepping on sticky Legos while Elmo shrieks in the background—your nervous system is not being dramatic. It’s just maxed out.
Join me this week as I give you my go-to strategies for identifying your sensory triggers and calming your system before you hit the point of snapping. We’re talking real solutions: noise-canceling headphones, toy rotation, dimming the damn lights, and even walking away for ten seconds to reset your brain. If you’ve ever yelled “I JUST NEED EVERYONE TO BE QUIET,” this one’s for you.
