In this episode of raising them finding us we're talking about being completely overstimulated and touched out. From constant noise and endless decision-making to little hands always needing something, motherhood can leave you mentally emotionally and physically overwhelmed. We open up about what overstimulation actually feels like why we snap and the guilt that follows. We also dive into the invisible load mother's carry every single day and how it impacts our nervous system systems, relationships, and sense of self. Most importantly, we talk about practical ways to cope reset and give ourselves grace in the middle of all this chaos. If you've ever hidden in the bathroom for five minutes of silence or felt like your brain couldn't handle one more thing this episode is for you.

Motherhood is often painted as joyful and glowing, but for many of us, that's not the full story. In this episode, we open up about postpartum depression, what it really feels like, and how it can quietly take hold. We talk about the emotional weight, the intrusive thoughts, and the parts that are hardest to say out loud most importantly, we want you to know: you're not alone and there is a way through.

In this episode, what happened to us?, we are slowing down to sit with the changes that motherhood brings. The visible ones but also the ones no one sees. The way our bodies feel unfamiliar, your thoughts feel heavier, and your world starts to look different than at once did. We talk about the stress, the confusion, the quiet moments and wondering where you went. This isn't about losing yourself forever, but about noticing the changes and beginning to understand them, because before we can find our way back to ourselves, we have to ask… What happened to us?
