It’s the noise.
It’s almost always the noise.
That’s the big light bulb moment in a woman’s highly sensitive journey.
The noise is almost ALWAYS the big sign.
I get so many emails and notes from women letting me know that they didn’t know they were highly sensitive until they read my series on being Highly Sensitive Moms. Here’s that series:
- Are you a Highly Sensitive Mom?
- Self-Care for Highly Sensitive Moms
- Soothing Tips for Highly Sensitive Moms
- How Being a Highly Sensitive Mom Affects Your Parenting
- 5 Quiet Ways to Feel Less Isolated as a Highly Sensitive Mom
Discovering you are a Highly Sensitive Mom can be a life-changing moment for many women.
It’s the knowledge that brings relief. Relief that we’re not crazy. Relief in understanding WHY we get so emotional or impacted by noise, news and overwhelm.
This is exactly what happened to Modern Mrs. Darcy’s Anne Bogel who is my guest on this week’s episode of The Abundant Mama Show.
Once she learned she was highly sensitive, Anne says everything just started to make so much more sense.
Anne, a mom of four and a blogger, and I talk about being highly sensitive women and mothers and how that impacts everything — time management, raising highly sensitive kids, triggers and, of course, reading. Because she’s the yoga of reading.

Amen, Dana! I felt the SAME way when I just read those words, too! I’m hoping that I’m about to learn why I have felt all these years so alone when it comes to this journey of motherhood. The word “noise” just made me stop breathing for a second because I’ve been saying that for years to my husband!!!
Welcome home! 🙂
