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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
