Sensational Moms: Support For Overstimulated Moms
For the overstimulated homeschool mom who is burned out, reactive, & snappy and ready to feel joyful and connected again.
Do you spend your days feeling touched out, talked out, and reactive — when all you really want is to actually enjoy being a mom? You're in the right place.
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 homeschool mom who is ready to go from burned out and reactive to joyful and connected — without having it all figured out first.
Each week we talk about the real stuff: emotional and nervous system regulation, sensory overload, the mental load of motherhood, doable self-care, and neurodivergent homeschooling — all through the lens of your nervous system, because that's where the change actually happens.
You don't have to have it together to help your kids thrive. Let's figure it out together.
Sensational Moms: Support For Overstimulated Moms
Signs of Sensory Overload
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the first episode, Whitney dives straight into:
--Why it's helpful to call sensory overload by its name
--Physical signs of sensory overload
--Mental and emotional signs of sensory overload
--Surprising signs of sensory overload
--Overlap of anxiety and sensory overload
--Why it's important to understand the physical sensations of sensory overload
--3 Steps for what to do in those overwhelmed moments and move toward connection
Understand what the main job of your nervous system is so that you can understand what your overwhelm is trying to tell you.
Then you'll learn about developing a plan for what to do in those overwhelmed moments and why it matters.
Motherhood is A LOT and homeschooling our kids is definitely extra in the sensory department!
