Let’s Choose Less: Why Simplifying Life Helps Highly Sensitive and Emotionally Intense Kids Thrive
What if your child’s meltdowns aren’t just about behavior—but a cry for less?
Less stimulation. Less pressure. Less chaos. If your sensitive or emotionally intense child seems to unravel in the hustle and overstimulation of everyday life, this episode will hit home.
This week, Jami sits down with parenting coach, writer, and mom of four, Jenna Michael, for a conversation every overwhelmed parent needs to hear. Jenna’s upcoming book Let’s Choose Less is all about simplifying home, schedule, and expectations—and today, she’s sharing how doing less can actually create more calm, more connection, and more emotional safety for your child.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why less clutter and fewer commitments help sensitive kids regulate
- What overstimulation really looks like in emotionally intense children
- How simplifying your home and routines reduces emotional meltdowns
- What it means to align with your values instead of cultural pressure
- Small, powerful shifts you can make today to create more calm at home
✨ If you’ve been waiting for someone to say it’s okay—even better—to do less, this is your episode. Let’s choose less… and experience more of what really matters.
