Have you ever snapped at your kids over something small… and then instantly felt guilty? Or craved silence so badly you could scream if you hear one more “Mom, Mama, Mommy?"

That, mama, is overstimulation. And it’s one of the most common — yet least talked about — struggles for moms.

The truth is, your brain and body are processing constant noise, touch, and demands every single day. Add in the invisible mental load of keeping a household running, and it’s no wonder you feel on edge.

In this episode, we’re talking about the real reason moms are especially prone to sensory overload, how to recognize the signs in your body and behavior, why pushing through only makes things worse, and small, doable resets you can use daily to stay calm and reset.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
