Are you an overwhelmed homeschool mom who feels overstimulated by noon?

Many homeschool moms experience a daily midday slump — a mix of mental load, sensory overload, emotional exhaustion, and physical fatigue that can quietly lead to homeschool burnout.

If you’re feeling touched out, reactive, or drained before lunchtime, it’s not a character flaw. It’s your nervous system asking for support.

In this episode, we explore why overstimulation is so common in motherhood — especially for highly sensitive moms — and how a simple midday reset can prevent the afternoon from slipping into survival mode.

If you’re tired of feeling exhausted halfway through your homeschool day, this conversation will help you understand what’s happening and what to do next.

I also share a simple, on-demand resource called The Midday Refresh, created specifically for overwhelmed homeschool moms who want calmer afternoons without overhauling their entire routine. It's 4 short audios with a do-able guide to make small shifts with a big impact... but not overwhelm you with more to do in your busy life.

--->Interested in a free coaching session to go along with trying out the Midday Refresh? I'm offering exactly that for the first 2 homeschool moms willing to give some simple feedback so that I can tailor this resource to be most helpful.

Winter can feel especially hard for overstimulated moms — but that doesn’t mean you're lazy or there's something wrong.

In this episode, I share sensory-based ways to support your body and nervous system during winter without pushing through or forcing productivity.

From a sensory and nervous system perspective, winter brings:

• less light
• more time indoors
• disrupted routines
• ...and increased demands

All of which can make regulation harder! Join me to learn simple shifts toward warmth, gentle movement, rest, and compassion. All so you can find more joy & connection in your chaotic days.

There’s a lot of pressure right now telling moms they need a nervous system reset — especially if you’re feeling overstimulated, exhausted, or emotionally maxed out.

But what if your nervous system isn’t broken at all?

In this episode, I’m gently unpacking why nervous system resets don’t always work, where this message comes from, and why so many overstimulated moms feel worse after trying to “fix” themselves.

We’ll talk about what’s actually happening in your body, how chronic sensory overload affects regulation, and why support works better than pressure.

If you’re a mom who feels touched out, mentally overloaded, or stuck in survival mode — this episode will help you understand your nervous system through a calmer, more compassionate lens. No resets. No rigid routines. Just realistic nervous system support that fits real mom life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the idea of a “nervous system reset” is misleading
• What overstimulation looks like in the nervous system
• Why regulation isn’t about fixing yourself
• What helps overstimulated moms feel safer and more supported

This episode is for homeschool moms, sensitive moms, and anyone who feels overwhelmed by constant noise, demands, and expectations — and is ready to stop chasing regulation and start responding to their body instead.
