When The House Feels Too Loud

You know that moment when you snap and then realize you’re not actually mad at anyone? You’re just maxed out. We sit down with coffee and tell the truth about overstimulation in motherhood: the toys under your feet, the shoes everywhere, the running list in your head, and the way a “clean house with little kids” can feel like a straight-up myth.

We talk through the real mental load that keeps moms switching tasks all day long, why chores take forever when kids need you every two minutes, and what it feels like to be touched out when your partner wants connection but you’ve been climbed on since breakfast. Along the way, we laugh about the random stuff our brains hold onto (yes, even beach sandwiches and a very specific fried bologna memory) because that’s part of survival too.

Then we land on something practical and tender: support that actually helps. Instead of “let me know if you need anything,” we share why bringing simple dinner basics, a snack, or a drink can feel like someone handed you a million dollars. If you’ve been Googling overstimulated mom, parenting burnout, messy house stress, or work life balance for moms, this chat will make you feel seen and a little lighter.

Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more moms can find us. What’s the fastest thing that overstimulates you right now?

Not Angry Just Overstimulated

SPEAKER_02 4:15

Um, today we're talking about I'm not angry. I'm overstimulated. Uh-huh. I feel like this is a Sally Jesse Raphael movie. Yes. Um that's a good title for an episode of a talk show. Yeah. I'm not angry, I'm overstimulated. I don't know how many times I tell my husband it's not you. I'm just overstimulated. You know.

SPEAKER_04 4:37

There's too much going on. I'm overwhelmed. Right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:41

Most of the time it's with what the house looks like. Yeah. And I'm just like, y'all go pick up what's pissing mom off right now. I know I've told you that before. Yes. Um, you you know what it is. You know it's these little toys in my feet, you know it's these rubber boots all over the house that it's and shoes. For no reason. And I'm just like, I'm always overstimulated by stuff. By stuff. You know?

SPEAKER_04 5:05

I can relate to that. Even though I have half the amount of kids you do, there's still always stuff everywhere.

SPEAKER_02 5:11

There's always stuff. But they always say, you know, we're gonna miss it. Picking up those little socks, picking up those little boots.

SPEAKER_04 5:19

Just thinking about how the toy phase, okay, um, and how my living room was never not had a toy on the floor. And I even there's a toy box in the corner, but nothing was ever, it was always out. Um, and now there's no toys, there's no more toys on the floor, which is so nice, but at the same time, there's a little part that is a little sad about it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:46

So isn't life I know crazy crazy and put plays plays jokes, is life got jokes like that, yeah. Like the little rubber boots, you know? The little rubber boots, they're so cute, and she wears them for no reason all the time, and it's just like I do love the little rubber boots.

SPEAKER_04 6:01

But when you're tripping over But when I'm tripping over the rubber boots, they're not cute at that point, they are aggravated.

SPEAKER_02 6:08

Put that in the box, put that in the box, and we have a box just for shoes, just for shoes.

SPEAKER_04 6:14

Mm-mm. Well, you have a clothes hamper just for clothes, and do they put clothes, all the clothes in there? No, they do not. No, so you know, there's that. I feel like this episode is going to be um mostly just for awareness, like, and just to know, like, if you if this is your life right now and you just you feel overwhelmed on the daily about things, you are not crazy. No, you are not wrong. No, you are not weird, you're not alone. You validate it. This is gonna be validating for you to know that you are not alone. We are all just going day by day, we all winging it, and we all just trying to keep our you know what together.

SPEAKER_02 6:56

And a clean house with little kids is a lie.

SPEAKER_04 7:00

It's a lie, it's a bald faced lie.

SPEAKER_02 7:02

It is, and I'm just like, there's no way. I have a friend whose house is Christine. I you know, and I'm just like, why though? It's beautiful, but I'm just like, but like, do you ever sit down? You know, like I feel like all the time.

SPEAKER_04 7:21

Well, and it's like I I know of some moms that when all the kids are to bed, that's when they clean, they clean the whole house. And I'm like, I choose sleep. And I'm not faulting you for choosing cleaning, but I'm also not faulting myself for choosing sleep either. So I feel like God for whatever reason, I mean, God makes us all different and puts different things in our life and and in in our heart and our person. So for them, maybe not having the clean house is like it's a non-negotiable. Like, I can't live in a house that's not picked up. So they they have to. Yes. Me, it'll it's gonna aggravate the crap out of me, but I'm gonna live with it. Yeah, me too.

SPEAKER_02 8:08

I'll get to it eventually. But then the but then it'll be something else. But then I'm over overstimulated and I'm not angry. I'm overstimulated.

SPEAKER_04 8:18

But I'm just I know, and our poor husbands, like they come home from work and like they just get whatever's left over in us for the day.

SPEAKER_02 8:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:26

Like after we've been mothering all day and and running businesses and and they just get the leftovers.

SPEAKER_02 8:33

And

Touched Out And Mental Load

SPEAKER_02 8:34

I feel bad for my husband because like he he his love language is touch. Okay, he wants to hug and he wants to like come mess with me like this. And I'm just like, stop it. Don't touch me. I need you to understand that it doesn't matter if I, you know, am standing like this, if I'm eating, if I'm taking a dump, if I'm uh, you know, like if I'm you know trying to lay down, there's somebody trying to climb on me or pull on me or like mama hold me. Yeah, or it's hard. By the time you get home, you get in the swap. I'm touched out. Yeah. So I mean, I feel bad for him. It's a season. They get whatever is left of us, and and but he understands. He's like, I know, I know you, you know. He uh he completely understands because he watches Facebook reels too. You got a good one. I feel like they, but he watches those ones and he'll send me ones like that, like prayer ones. Just let to let you know that he gets that he understands. Yeah, he understands, but it's just like I kind of feel bad for him because it's like by the time he gets home, I'm like, just stop, just don't touch me. But he understands. I don't know. But yeah, the overstimulation, and it's not just with things that I see, it's in my head too, sometimes. You know, like okay, I gotta stop and get gas, and I gotta do this, and I gotta stop here and I gotta stop there. But I'm gonna stop here on the way, and then if I stop here on the way, then I don't have to do that later. And then, you know, like that's a mama's brain.

SPEAKER_04 10:00

It is a mama's brain. This morning, uh getting ready to come here to podcast, I was like, Okay, I need to I need to uh put these dishes in the sink and get that going. Okay, so I started doing that. Well, Rhea comes in, is uh mama ready. I was like, Do you have your water? No, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Can you fix my water for me? So I stopped, fix the water. Dishes ain't done. Okay. Did you put your shoes on? Nowhere are they like this is the brain. This is how it's just it doesn't stop. Or like I knew I had to get feeding my sourdough starter. So I'm like doing dishes. Oh, if I don't stop and do it right now, I'm afraid I'm gonna forget. So I'll stop, I'll do something else, and I'll come back to it. And it takes me an hour to do the dishes because of I don't, I haven't stopped.

SPEAKER_02 10:43

And that's us as business owners too. Just in case you were wondering how everything gets done, it gets done like that. Oh, we need to do this. Oh, don't let's not forget about this. Oh, whoa, we're supposed to be doing this. Oh, and then like she, oh, she got a message. Oh, gotta answer my mama answer the message. And then she's like, okay, let's not forget about this. And it's like, okay, and neither one of us is writing down, you know, what we should, but it's hey, it works or it doesn't.

SPEAKER_04 11:12

Sometimes it does, sometimes we forget. Sometimes there's messages that don't get returned, and I I apologize for that.

SPEAKER_02 11:19

But and if they don't, it's probably it's probably my fault because I don't check her.

unknown 11:25

No.

SPEAKER_02 11:27

She she does most of the emails, and every once in a while I'll pop my head in there. Like so that she realizes. I got it. I did that. And she's like, okay, once a week, maybe, yeah. But anyway, so don't don't feel like you're alone in it. We just trying to live and survive our life right

Maybe that's you too. Maybe you, you know, you and these moms that have like uh, you know, lots of kids in different sports and things and that, like y'all are constantly running. I don't know how you do it. I don't because I only have two and we do dancing and that's it. And that's three nights a week, and that's it, like that's all I can handle. And competition dance. Well, it it's three nights, yeah. It's comp dance and then the weekend day. Well, yeah, that too. But it's not every weekend, thank God. Yeah. Um, but because sports are literally every weekend.

Yeah, but okay, so do they do their clothes only on like one day a week? All the clothes is done on one day. I think they have help.

SPEAKER_02 12:51

We're not going nowhere until this is done. You know? I don't know. Maybe they stay up late. Like some people, but I'm gonna tell you something. Some people just throw their clothes on a bed and they fish it out and never fold anything. Never fold it.

SPEAKER_04 13:19

Okay. That could be. They get washed, they just don't get folded and put up. You just go find it. That would make it worse.

SPEAKER_02 13:28

I I can't breathe thinking about that. But that's not me. Nope. But it gotta be folded. Or they can just throw it in the drawer, but they don't like wrinkly shirt. Wrinkled. All the time, wrinkled. Now drawers I ain't folding. That's that don't I don't need to do that.

Nobody cares if you got wrinkles in there. No. But Chase can't stand that. I will fold Chase's because he can't. Oh, he he can't. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 14:02

Balance Myths And Bedtime Reality

SPEAKER_04 19:24

I just I just want um I just want everybody out there to know like that this is not this is a normal part of life. One of the first uh in-person events we did at St. Amont, the church, a little precious little mama, she was a Q ⁇ A session and she was like, How do y'all balance your family life, work life, and just everything? And you know, like stay composed and balance everything. And we were both started laughing. We're both like, we don't, like, we really don't do it very well. What you see is like the highlights of our life, and the rest is just nitty-gritty life. So if you feel like the same way, that's normal, boo. That's just life, and you find joy in in all circumstances. You might have some days where you just can't see that joy, and you can't see um the forest for the trees, but beyond the obvious beyond it, yeah. But then the next day, you know, God grants you a good night of sleep and you feel all ready to go the next day. Yeah, you know, it could be something simple as that.

SPEAKER_02 20:24

Oh man. Or how uh but you we get you, okay? And we feeling it too. So if you're feeling like that, don't worry. Everybody is. They just might not want to say anything, just like they lying about the house being clean.

SPEAKER_04 20:38

They just yeah, lying about and and like those when you said that, like it's a lie. It made me think about um when I had first had kids um and the nighttime routines, okay? And in my mind, when you now have never have had a kid, you don't know what it what what you're in for, okay? That kids do not really sleep, at least mine didn't. Well, and when they get old enough to where you like, okay, it's time for bed. I'm gonna tuck you in. Huh? Yeah, right. Okay, and then getting up and out of bed every two seconds, and they don't want to be without you, so you gotta stay there and you gotta sit there and hold their hand so they fall asleep. It's a whole thing, okay? But in in like when you when you don't know that, you see all these TV shows and movies of people going like reading their little kid a bedtime story and putting the covers up, get kissed good night, see you tomorrow, and walking out, and it's all just ha ha ha ha ha ha lies. Yeah, storybooks. Lies. I do it. Well, I'm not saying I don't read a I didn't read a story, but my kids would not stay in their bed.

SPEAKER_02 21:40

Rosie is the only Rosie does.

SPEAKER_04 21:44

Neither neither one of mine did. So it's a life.

SPEAKER_02 21:49

Put it on her. Well, she she fights me to go to like go get in her bed. Okay. She fights me. But I'll I'll go and it's a but it's every single night. Every single night. We all pray. After that, we bless each other's hands. After that is her book. We put her cover on, give her a kiss, walk out the door. Every single night is the same exact thing. That's great. So like, but with Isla, that was my first one. I had to hold her hand. And that was not fun. I cannot tell you. And I I'm I'm gonna look back and I'm gonna wish I could do that again. Not that part. But that's I was that's not something I was I was planning for. And you don't know. You never know how it's gonna be sometimes. Yeah. You know, are they gonna cut up? Are they gonna be thirsty? Are they gonna be hungry? Oh, I need a snack. She's starting that with me. I'm like, oh no, no, no. Kitchen's close.

SPEAKER_04 22:46

Kitchen's close. Are you not hungry, baby? You are not hungry.

SPEAKER_02 22:50

So I don't know. It's a lot, though. It's a lot. Between the bedtime and the grocery shopping and then the clean house, and that we just said clean house. That was just the tip of the iceberg. That's not the grocery shopping. That's not the rest. Oh my god. I know. So don't worry. We're not keeping it all together either. It's a crapshoot at our house.

SPEAKER_04 23:10

Sometimes you you go to bed and you're just like, thank you, Lord, for getting me through the day. Like, I don't know how I made it through the day. It must have been your grace and your divine intervention at work because that was a lot today.

SPEAKER_02 23:21

Here is a little notebook I got you, and some little other. And then she pulls out of her bag, y'all, some red beans in a bag with some little seasoning packets. And it was like she just gave me a million dollars. I was like, I didn't know what I was cooking this week. I think I have a pack of sausage, and you just laid a million dollars on my table, and it made me feel so good. I was like, okay, that's one less thing I gotta do. One last thing I gotta do. So you know what? All your overstimulated mamas, all your overstimulated friends, I'm gonna need you to go to their house. You don't even have to cook it. Get them, get them a pack of uh beans and a little pack, maybe flavoring a pack of sausage. Here you go, baby. Because you know they got rice or liquor.

SPEAKER_04 24:28

Something one less thing to think about. I think that's things to think about. I think that's huge. And like uh when you just have had a baby and people somebody brings you a meal, that was a lot like gave me life. I'll never forget it. Like, I I didn't know that that was a thing until I got texts from a few of my friends, like, what you want me, uh I want to make you a meal, like what you want to eat. And I'm like, You gonna cook me some? Yeah, like it was so nice not to have to think about what to cook for dinner, what we're gonna eat those first few days home with the baby.

SPEAKER_02 25:00

And I saw something that said, Um, don't ask, doing this instead of um let me know if you need something. And it was like a meal that she was putting together in a basket, bringing it to her friends. And I'm like, that's all people need sometimes is just a little help. Yeah, go buy them a little snack. Yeah, nice to talk to Pepper little chill.

SPEAKER_04 25:21

Bring them a little fountain drink, like anything. Easy show them you're thinking about them.

SPEAKER_02 25:25

That's right. That's right.

SPEAKER_04 25:26

That helps us get through those times. Oh, what a day.

SPEAKER_02 25:29

All right.
