In this episode, we explore the hidden factors that contribute to overwhelm: chronic fatigue and sleep deprivation, the mental load of remembering and managing countless details, the role that estrogen plays, sensitivity to the world around us, and the unique challenges of high needs children.

We’ll also reflect on the realities of doing this work largely alone in modern motherhood, why overwhelm shows up differently for each mother, and how awareness of these contributing factors can bring clarity, acceptance, and relief.

Join me next week for Part 2 where we'll dive into the nervous system, how the freeze response shows up in motherhood, and the practical steps we can take to prevent and alleviate overwhelm.
