Summary

Every time I’ve surveyed you all over the last 6 years, you have shared with me that overwhelm is one of your biggest struggles. I HEAR YOU. It seems no matter the season of life, if you are parenting, you are overwhelmed. Whether it’s the challenge of the constant caregiving logistics, that challenge of the state of the world, the challenge of holding emotional space for your children, or the challenge of trying to find some semblance of your own sense of self in all of this - IT IS A LOT. And it is CONSTANT. Today, I’m giving you permission to start dropping some balls. Maybe one. Maybe two. Maybe, like 13??? In this episode, I walk you through how to determine which balls to drop and how to restructure time so you can keep the most important balls in the air. I hope this episode helps you take a close look at what you can let go of in order to make space for more peace, joy and sanity.
