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.

For the highly sensitive homeschool mom who hits a wall in spring... you might be surprised because winter is over! Life should feel easy now, right?
In this episode I'm breaking down why spring can feel harder before it feels better, what's actually happening in your nervous system and your kids' when the season shifts, and why pushing through your winter routine into spring usually backfires.
In this episode:
- Why the season shift can make dysregulation worse before it gets better
- What your kids' spring energy is actually telling you
- Why pushing through your current routine often backfires
- How nature fits into your nervous system toolkit this time of year
Next week in Part 2 we're getting practical — but not in a here's-your-spring-schedule kind of way. More like, here are some things to sit with and ask yourself so you can figure out what the season is asking for in your specific home.
