Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the constant stimulation of everyday life as a mama? The clanging of dishes, the chatter of little voices, the buzz of electronics - it can all become too much, leaving you feeling frazzled and on edge. If you're nodding your head in agreement, you're not alone.

As trauma survivors, we often carry an extra layer of sensitivity to our surroundings. Our nervous systems, already primed for danger, can easily become overloaded by the sensory input that comes with motherhood. But what if I told you there were simple, practical tools that could help you find calm amidst the chaos?

In this candid episode, I'm opening up my personal toolbox of strategies for managing sensory overload and regulating my nervous system. From time-tested classics to surprising new discoveries, I'm sharing the techniques that have made a real difference in my journey as a trauma survivor and mama.

You'll gain insight into:

• The power of journaling to process emotions and untangle complex thoughts
• How affirmation cards can rewire negative self-talk and limiting beliefs
• Practical breathing techniques to anchor yourself in moments of overwhelm
• Unexpected tools that can make a world of difference in managing sensory input

I get vulnerable about my own challenges with sensory processing, including:

• The initial difficulty I faced when learning to use mindful breathing
• How I discovered my own sound sensitivity through my children's experiences
• The life-changing impact of finding the right tools to manage overstimulation

"I never connected that with being in crowded places in public," I share, reflecting on my realization about sound sensitivity. It's a powerful reminder that self-awareness is an ongoing process, even for those of us well into our healing journeys.

If you're tired of feeling at the mercy of your environment and longing for more peace in your daily life, this episode is your invitation to explore new possibilities. These tools have been game-changers for me, and they might just be the missing piece in your own toolkit.

As moms, we often find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of responsibilities, pouring our hearts and souls into caring for our children. But in the process, we sometimes forget a crucial truth: we can't nurture others if we're running on empty ourselves.

In this eye-opening episode, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Michelle Watson, an international speaker and business mentor who's turning pain into passion. Michelle's powerful talk at our recent Mamahood After Trauma Symposium sheds light on a topic close to my heart: the importance of self-care for moms.

Michelle beautifully captures the essence of motherhood as a sacred journey, from conception to watching our children grow and thrive. She reminds us that whether we're biological mothers or not, we're leaving an indelible mark on the lives we nurture.

But here's the catch - in our dedication to our families, we often neglect ourselves. Michelle emphasizes that this self-neglect serves no one and can lead to resentment and bitterness.

Remember those pre-flight safety instructions? "Put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others." Michelle uses this powerful analogy to illustrate why self-care isn't selfish - it's essential. By taking care of ourselves, we're better equipped to care for our loved ones.

I share my own journey of realizing how self-neglect was affecting my relationships with my children and husband. It's a wake-up call many of us need: our habit of self-abandonment often stems from us, not external pressures.

Michelle's talk is a rallying cry for moms everywhere to embrace self-compassion and recognize their worth beyond their roles as caregivers. She challenges us to honor the "divine essence of motherhood" while not losing sight of our own needs.

Here's a perspective shift: Michelle argues that stay-at-home moms are some of the world's greatest managers. Balancing multiple tasks, managing time efficiently, and wearing countless hats - these are skills that deserve recognition and respect.

Are you ready to rewrite your story of motherhood, one where self-care takes center stage? Michelle's full talk, along with insights from 10 other incredible speakers, is available in our symposium replay. It's an investment in yourself that could change the trajectory of your motherhood journey.

Remember, mama, your well-being matters. It's time to fill your cup first, so you can pour from a place of abundance, not scarcity. Let's start honoring the sacredness of motherhood by honoring ourselves.
