Summary

A couple of months ago, we did our annual Shameless Summer Survey to find out what you all needed - where you were struggling most and what you were craving. Over and over again you said you were overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck. You said you were tired of the constant chaos. You said you were craving calm. I hear you. It is common to feel all of this at any stage of motherhood, but when you layer in what mothers have endured over the past 2.5 years, it’s especially understandable that you would be feeling these feelings in the most overwhelming way. We have been through a lot - A LOT - in the last few years and we are now expected to move on as if it’s all over and it’s all fine. We are not fine. And that is ok. In this episode, I dig into why you're feeling the way you’re feeling and how to start to gently climbing your way out of the chaos and back to some at least intermittent calm in your daily life. I mean, I can’t make your kids leave you alone permanently, but I can give you some great tips on how to process and release some of your chaos & crap in order to create a sense of calm on a regular basis.

1:01.8	response that we got from you all was that you are feeling overwhelmed. That was the overwhelm
1:06.7	was the overwhelming response. You're feeling overwhelmed. You're feeling like things are just so chaotic
1:11.3	and there's no like respite or relief in sight. You are feeling like you are craving calm,
1:18.2	but you're struggling to like implement habits to support an environment of calm around you.

1:32.6	want to dig into today because I think that we have, I think collectively we have a lot of

1:45.5	feels like there's just, we're waiting through crap every day. Like whether that is like literal
