Description: Send us a textThis episode is for any mom who lies in bed overthinking, worrying, planning, replaying, or feeling unable to “turn off.” We talk about   why racing thoughts happen, especially for moms, and why this doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It’s actually your brain trying to protect the people and responsibilities you love most. I share the science behind nighttime overthinking and how stress and sleep affect each other. You are not broken—you’re overwhelmed, and today I give you a compassionate path back to calm.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com
