Show Notes
Feeling overwhelmed by the pace of modern life? You’re not alone.
In this episode, Wendy sits down with the inspiring Sarah Boyd, author of Turn Down the Noise, to talk about staying grounded, calm, and connected in a world that rarely slows down.
Sarah shares her journey from aggressive cancer at 27 to motherhood, and how that season reshaped everything she teaches about resilience. Together, they break down simple brain science, why parents feel so overstimulated today, and small shifts that help kids and adults reset.
You’ll learn:
• How stress affects the prefrontal cortex
• Daily habits that help you regulate through overwhelm
• Ways to slow family life so kids build resilience
• How to trust your intuition instead of parenting by comparison
A warm, hopeful conversation that helps you breathe again.
