Why Your Brain Feels So Loud – the Modern Woman’s Overloaded Nervous System
Description
If your brain feels loud lately - not just busy, but loud - this episode will feel like someone finally put words to what you’ve been carrying.
In this deep, steady, truth-telling conversation, Sara Harkin breaks down why so many modern women feel mentally overloaded, anxious in their bodies, and unable to switch their minds off… even when they’re exhausted.
This isn’t “you’re stressed, go relax” advice. This is the real psychology, the real hormone shifts, and the real emotional load women live under every single day.
You’ll learn:
• why your nervous system is overstimulated
• how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and under-eating make your mind louder
• the role hormones play in anxiety (especially in your 30s, 40s and 50s)
• why women who hold everything together often struggle the most
• how to break the “loud brain loop” and create genuine calm
• the identity shifts that quiet your mind more than any quick fix ever could
This episode blends lived experience, grounded neuroscience, emotional truth, and the practical tools women need to regulate their minds without shaming themselves.
If you’ve ever thought, “I should be coping… so why do I feel on edge?” — this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.
You’re not broken. You’re not “too sensitive.” You’re a woman who has been carrying too much for too long. And there is a way back to calm, clarity, and steadiness.
Press play. Let’s quiet the noise - together.
