Simplify with Amanda B

106. Being Overwhelmed Is Keeping You Safe


Listen Later

In this episode, I dive deep into how overwhelm is actually a safety mechanism for our brain. I explore why we default to feeling overwhelmed when facing challenges or stepping outside our comfort zone. The key insights include understanding that overwhelm is our brain's primitive way of protecting us from perceived danger, which can prevent us from taking action. 

I share strategies to break through overwhelm, such as:

  • Recognizing it as a defense mechanism
  • Breaking tasks into manageable steps
  • Prioritizing what matters most
  • Setting boundaries
  • Creating space for rest and recovery

The episode provides practical advice for business owners on managing multiple roles, avoiding burnout, and reframing overwhelm as a signal of growth. My goal is to help listeners transform overwhelm from a roadblock into an opportunity for personal and professional development.
