Description
For the overstimulated mom who is burned out, reactive, and ready to stop feeling guilty at the end of the day.
Do you spend your days feeling touched out, talked out, and reactive — when all you really want is to actually enjoy being a mom?
I'm Whitney, a sensory integration occupational therapist turned nervous system regulation coach, homeschooling my 4 kids as a highly sensitive mom. I created this podcast for the overstimulated mom who is ready to go from burned out and reactive to joyful and connected — without having it all figured out first.
Each episode we talk about the real stuff: emotional and nervous system regulation, sensory overload, the mental load of motherhood, doable self-care, and neurodivergent homeschooling.
Real understanding. Real moms. Real brain-body tools and rhythyms that work.
You don't have to have it together to help your kids thrive. Let's figure it out together.
