Ever feel like the world’s volume knob is stuck on “too loud”? In this week’s episode of Typology, I’m joined by my friend Sarah Boyd—an insightful Enneagram Four and author of the brand-new book, Turn Down the Noise: A Practical Guide to Building an Emotionally Healthy Family in a Chronically Overstimulated World.

Sarah has walked through seasons of deep beauty and deep challenge—including her own cancer journey—and she’s here to share how those experiences have shaped her understanding of creativity, meaning, and the role our emotions play in living a full, authentic life.

We talk about how overstimulation impacts both adults and kids, why recognizing our limitations matters, and how setting healthy boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Sarah offers thoughtful, practical ideas for creating a home where emotional health can thrive, even when the world outside feels overwhelming.

If you’ve been craving a little more peace, presence, and emotional resilience in your daily life, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

The beauty and necessity of emotional experiences
How to navigate life in a chronically overstimulated world
Simple, powerful practices for parents to nurture their kids’ emotional well-being
The freedom that comes from self-care and clear boundaries

Thank you for tuning in. We hope you enjoy this enriching episode!
