Feeling like everything is too much and your nervous system is fried? In this short, heartfelt episode, Katie shares a real-life moment where she found instant calm in the middle of an overwhelming night — and how you can experience the same peace in your own motherhood moments. HerHomeAndHeart.com
Have you ever hit a moment in motherhood where your whole body says, “I can’t do this… it’s all too much,” but you still have to keep going?
I had one of those moments recently — and what happened in the middle of it honestly surprised me.
In this short, heartfelt episode, I share a real story from our life this month: a night when my son’s joyful but piercing shrieks sent my nervous system into complete overload. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and honestly on the verge of tears. And right there in that moment, something unexpected came out of my mouth that shifted what was happening inside my heart and body.
You’ll hear:
the simple physiological reason this small practice calms anxiety
what Scripture says about why this response leads to peace
how it pulled my mind out of overload during a moment I thought I’d break
and a tiny way you can use it anytime everything feels like too much
If your days feel full, your brain feels stretched thin, and motherhood has been heavy lately, this episode will help you find a moment of calm — right in the middle of the chaos.
