49. Workshop Part 2: Overcoming Overwhelm for Postpartum Moms

In this episode of Brave & Bloom, I’m going deeper into overwhelm and talking about what’s happening inside my body when I feel constantly stretched, reactive, and exhausted.I share how overwhelm isn’t something I can just mindset my way out of. It’s something my nervous system is holding onto, which is why I keep finding myself stuck in the same patterns no matter how hard I try.Overwhelm lives in my body, not just my thoughts.What I’m feeling isn’t just mental. My body is holding onto stress, pressure, and past patterns, which is why I can’t just “think my way out” of overwhelm.If I don’t regulate my body, I stay stuck in reactive patterns.When my nervous system is overwhelmed, I’m more likely to snap, shut down, or feel out of control. Regulation is what allows me to respond instead of react.Creating space for myself is not optional, it’s necessary.If I want to show up as a calm, present, and connected mom, I have to prioritize moments that support me too. That’s how I actually break the cycle of overwhelm.In this episode, I walk through why regulation matters, how my body responds to stress, and what it actually looks like to start creating space for myself so I can show up differently in motherhood.Have questions?DM me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chassiecoxJoin the newsletter: https://chassiecox.myflodesk.com/ql9giiuheiIf you found this helpful, please share + leave a review!Sending you so much love!Coach Chassie
