In this episode of Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman, we explore why everything feels like too much — and you don't know how to make it stop.

I'll walk you through why constant sensory input keeps your nervous system stuck in survival mode, and what it's really costing you. If you've been snapping at people you love, flinching at every notification, or feeling "touched out" by the end of the day, this one is for you.

What You'll Walk Away With

→ Why chronic overstimulation isn't a personal failing — it's your nervous system doing exactly what it was trained to do

→ A reflection question to help you notice the sensory input you're absorbing all day without realizing it

→ Permission to protect your senses on purpose — darkness, silence, and digital breaks as real rest, not indulgence
