233: Overstimulation (Bite Size Nugget)
Description
Overstimulation—it’s the #1 thing you guys told me is driving your burnout and overwhelm right now. So, in this bite-sized nugget, I’m breaking it down: what overstimulation really is, why it’s not your kids’ fault, and what you can do about it (spoiler: it starts with us).
You can’t ask your kids not to be kids—but you can manage the extra inputs tipping you over the edge. I’m sharing tips on reducing mental clutter, rethinking phone use, why silence is magic, and how to stop trying to “get in the flow” when flow just isn’t possible in these early years.
