Today I’m going to talk about a subject that is very prevalent in today’s culture, and that is overstimulation. For parents and moms, your environment can be very stimulating and frankly, chaotic. We fight busy schedules, hundreds of toys, and a million questions a day, so it’s easy for life to feel hectic and out of control. But the problem is when I see women accepting the overstimulation and stress as thinking “Oh well, that’s just the way it is.”
I’m here to tell you that it doesn't have to be that way! As a mom of FOUR BOYS, I’ve had to do my fair share of work to combat the chaos to find a rhythm of life that’s enjoyable and helps me to thrive. I want to share with you some key components to my strategy that I know are going to you help you nail down a rhythm that works for you!
In this episode, I talk about…..
- Defining overstimulation and what that looks like in my life.
- Simple hacks to be proactive in managing stress as a mom.
- Getting back to basics.
- A word on meditation/my routine.
- The importance of simplifying your environment.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
