Summary

After sharing about a recent disappointment, I received a flood of messages that led me to realize there is this common misconception that we're alone in our feelings of being stretched too thin. After reading through them you can trust me, you are not the only one dealing with the weight of mental and physical exhaustion. Today I'm sharing more about that personal experience that left me feeling pretty upset, and questioning how I will ever be able to keep up with all of the demands of my life. As we each navigate the universal struggle of trying to balance it all, I hope I can offer some practical strategies for finding balance, acknowledging limitations, and seeking support. It's okay to ask for help and know that you have the power to rewrite our own narratives.

Have you ever experienced a smallish moment where you dropped a ball, but it led to this existential crisis that's very internal and all about your identity and your life and how nothing is working and you don't know who you are and what are you supposed to do with your life and your life needs a total overhaul.

Well, this happened to me last Friday. I shared a little bit about it in the intro for Monday's episode about how I forgot a really big important interview and it was an important moment for me in my life because it did help me recognize that there's just too much going on in my own mental load that I needed to better manage and to figure out how I can pass things off, let some things go, get more help, or maybe have a life change in terms of what my responsibilities are and what I'm doing with my work.

it's not that I actually need a whole life overhaul.
