[E223] Sensory Processing 101
Update: 2025-10-21
Description
Ever wonder why certain behaviors leave us scratching our heads? On today’s Empowered to Connect Podcast, we’re diving into sensory processing. What it is, why it matters, and how it impacts our ability (and our kids’ ability) to regulate and move through the day. We all know the basic 5 senses, right? But did you know there are actually EIGHT sensory systems your brain is managing?
We're breaking it all down:
✅ What is sensory processing?
✅ What happens when our systems get overwhelmed?
✅ How can we support ourselves and our kids when things feel "off"?
We're not Occupational Therapists. Just parents sharing what we've learned. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss!
