Your phone is buzzing.The news is loud.The group chat is on fire.Your calendar is full.Your kids need snacks.Dinner isn’t made. And somewhere in the middle of all of it… you snap.

Ask yourself: * What am I allowing into my day? * Is this input helping me live according to my values? * Do I need this much information to be a good mom? A good citizen? A good human? Most of us aren’t overwhelmed because we care.We’re overwhelmed because w…","meta_description":"Before we go any further, let’s say this out loud: You are not “too sensitive.”You are overstimulated.
