Episode notes

Motherhood is beautiful, but it can also be incredibly overwhelming. In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about a side of motherhood that isn’t talked about enough: feeling overstimulated and over touched. From constant requests for snacks and attention to being touched all day by babies, toddlers, and even partners, many moms find themselves craving personal space while simultaneously feeling guilty for needing it. If you’ve ever hidden in the bathroom for a few moments of peace, felt overwhelmed by noise, or struggled with sensory overload, this episode is for you.

We’ll discuss:

• What it really means to be overstimulated as a mom

•Why feeling “touched out” is more common than you think

• The mental and emotional impact of constant caregiving

• Signs your nervous system may need support
