Navigating Overstimulation & Overwhelm

Motherhood can come with an overwhelm that is hard to explain until you are in it. The noise, the touching, the mess, the questions, the constant needs, and the feeling that too many things are happening at once can leave us feeling overstimulated, reactive, depleted, or disconnected from ourselves.

In this session, we’ll talk honestly about what overwhelm feels like in our bodies, what tends to push us past capacity, and what support might actually look like in those moments.

How It Works

• Free and confidential – hosted on Totem’s secure platform
• Guided sharing – everyone gets a turn, no pressure to overshare
• Family-friendly – babies, toddlers, and background noise welcome
