In this episode, we’re diving into something that hits all of us from time to time—overwhelm. For me, even after years of mindset work, I still catch myself in that mental whirlwind: the looping thoughts, the endless mental to-do list, the freeze that comes from not knowing what to tackle first. Sound familiar?
Here’s the truth: overwhelm usually isn’t about how much is on your plate. It’s about how you’re thinking about what’s on your plate.
So here’s the good news…
You have more power than you think.
Today, we’re going to unpack what really causes overwhelm, how to spot it at the thought level, and how to shift out of it before it hijacks your day. I’m also calling out one of the biggest myths we’ve been sold—multitasking and hustle as the gold standard—and offering a calmer, more effective way forward.
And before we start, let me just say this: feeling overwhelmed does not mean you’re dropping the ball. It means you’re human. We all go there. But when you learn how to work with it, instead of fighting it or judging it, you step more fully into that calm, clear, poised version of you that’s ready to tackle it.
