AP 797: Feeling Overstimulated as a Mom? Hidden Signs to Watch For (and What to Do About It) || with Alex Viera
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges of overstimulation for mothers and offers insights on managing sensory overload with expert Alex Viera.
As a mom, my vision involved perfect moments with my kids, unaware of the strain overstimulation could bring. It's not just juggling cleaning or cooking but managing the hidden pressure of sensory overload. This isn't a flaw—it's our nervous system waving a red flag for help. What's the secret to steering through it? In this episode, I sit down with Alex Viera, a pediatric occupational therapist and nervous system coach, to explore how we can mitigate this stress. Discover how simple shifts in meeting basic needs and embracing joy can lighten the load and restore our sense of self. Tune in to hear Alex’s insights on transforming overwhelming moments into manageable ones.
