They explore how sensory processing affects daily life, emphasising the importance of understanding individual sensory profiles. Jane shares her personal struggles with constant interruptions and the overwhelming demands of motherhood. Rebecca offers insights into creating a "sensory diet" and practical strategies for managing sensory overload.

The conversation highlights the need for self-care, communication, and support to create a balanced and fulfilling family life.
