Overwhelmed, overstimulated, and wondering what’s really going on? In this second episode of What’s Really Going On, I’ll be exploring what overstimulation is, why it feels like your senses, thoughts, and emotions are on overload, and what science says about who is most likely to feel this. I’ll share how I’ve been personally coping, withdrawing, retreating, needing quiet, and give gentle, evidence-based ways we can protect ourselves without burning out. If you’re tired of feeling like everything is too much, let’s lean into rest together.
