Why does everything feel like too much sometimes? 😩

The noise.

The decisions.

The constant needs.

The mental tabs you can’t seem to close.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Melissa Sonners — nervous system guide, brainwave educator, and author of The Connection Code — to explore what’s really happening beneath that “too much” feeling.

We unpack why overwhelm isn’t a sign that you’re failing… it’s a nervous system response. Why overthinking and irritability are states of protection. And how understanding nervous system regulation changes the way we approach burnout, reactivity, and emotional exhaustion in motherhood.

Melissa shares how simple two-minute “microdoses” of connection, rhythm, light exposure, and play can gently guide your body back toward safety — without adding more to your plate.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, reactive, or constantly on edge, this episode will help you understand your body instead of fighting it.

Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about returning to yourself. 💛

Motherhood carries an emotional load that often goes unseen — and unspoken.

In this episode of the Wildly Well Mamas Podcast, I’m joined by Kelly Dzioba, a perinatal therapist at Sunshine City Counseling, for a grounding and compassionate conversation about the emotional landscape of motherhood.

Together, we explore perinatal mental health across the full spectrum — from fertility and pregnancy to postpartum and beyond — and talk about the subtle signs of emotional overwhelm that so many women experience but rarely name. We discuss postpartum anxiety, burnout, rage, guilt, and the invisible mental load mothers carry, often while telling themselves they’re “fine.”

This conversation offers language, validation, and clarity — without shame or alarm — and gently reminds you that emotional health matters just as much as physical health, and that support can be both accessible and deeply human.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, emotionally stretched thin, or unsure whether what you’re experiencing is “normal,” this episode is for you.

1. What perinatal mental health truly includes
2. Common (and often overlooked) signs of emotional distress in motherhood
3. Why rage and irritability are often signals, not personal failures
4. The mental load mothers carry — and how it shows up emotionally
5. How to prepare for postpartum support beyond physical nesting
6. What therapy can look like when it feels safe, grounding, and supportive
7. Why asking for help is a strength, not a weakness

We hear so many stories of fear and crisis when it comes to birth.

This episode offers something different.

In this conversation, I sit down with Kristin Anderson — trauma-informed life coach, intuitive spiritual guide, and photographer — to share an unconventional and deeply spiritual birth story.

Rather than a how-to or a teaching episode, this is a story-led conversation that invites reflection on birth as a spiritual portal, the mystery of time and consciousness, and the ways birth can shape a woman’s understanding of her body, intuition, and inner power.

This episode is for the woman who feels called to hear a more expansive, reverent perspective on birth — whether she is pregnant, postpartum, healing, or simply curious about what else is possible.

✨ A gentle note for listeners:

Kristin shares an empowering and unique birth story in this episode. If your birth unfolded differently than you hoped, this conversation may stir emotion. All birth stories are sacred. This episode is offered as a story — not to be compared to — but to gently inspire hope and expand what feels possible when it comes to the magic of birth.
