Summary
We all have a lot on our plats. Being busy has been glorified for so long; the hustle culture is strong; rest has been positioned as weakness.. its no wonder we’re all feeling pulled in a thousand directions at any given time.
But, feeling overwhelmed don’t have to be our default operation system. In fact, for nearly all of us, overwhelm isn’t even coming from our to-do lists, but the thoughts we’re thinking.
In todays episode I walk you through how to overcome your overwhelm. How to change the way you’re thinking about what you do, and what you don’t do, so that you can feel more at peace with where you spend your time.
And also, get really clear on the stories you’re telling yourself around how you’re showing up. Because, while you’re believing “I can’t do it. It’s too much. It’s overwhelming.” You’re actually here, DOING IT. You’re showing up, and being a mom, and growing your career, and figuring it all out. You’re fucking doing it. You’re just doing it without any acknowledgment for yourself. Its time we changed all that.
See you inside 💥
