Listen "Overstimulated & Overwhelmed"

Episode Synopsis

How many of you feel overstimulated and overwhelmed? Can we all be real today? Can we be godly women who love our kids so much it hurts, while still being real about the struggle? Or no? Motherhood can be hard! It’s not our kids who make it hard but the responsibility that comes with it. Motherhood requires so much of you that some days it just overtakes you and you can’t help but feel depleted, alone and utterly exhausted, am I right? Overstimulation is so real, can I get an amen. The constant noise, the crying, the screaming as they play just because, the constant snack requests, the “mom come wipe my butt” while you’re cooking, the countless conversations with your husband or friends that is interrupted a billion times for who knows what, the toys banging, need I go on? Overstimulation is one of the toughest parts for me tbh. But we can’t imagine our life without our precious children, they’re worth it all! But I want to speak to the overstimulated and overwhelmed mama today. I want you to know you’re not alone. I want you to know you’re still a good mother, in fact, you’re a great mother! I want you to know that God sees every single thing you do and he’s proud of you, I want you to know that God cares about your needs as you care about everyone else's. I want you to know that it only makes sense you’re feeling this way because you’re simply juggling so much, you’re not crazy, I promise! God wants to encourage your soul today and reassure your heart today!
