115. 5 Ways to Find Peace When Life Feels Overwhelming


Listen Later

You know those times when everything looks fine on the outside, but inside you feel heavy, restless, or just not yourself? That's where I found myself this past week walking the beautiful streets of Washington, D.C., enjoying great food and weather, yet carrying this undercurrent of dread from all the news streaming in. It reminded me how easy it is to get pulled out of center by the world around us, and how important it is to know how to bring ourselves back. In this episode, I share five grounding practices that help when life feels overwhelming. These are simple tools, but when practiced, they shift your entire experience of life, even if nothing outside of you has changed. If you've been feeling stretched thin or like your peace keeps slipping away, this conversation will guide you back to steadiness, clarity, and a sense of calm you can trust.

Show Highlights

  • Use your breath to calm your nervous system and bring your mind back to the present.

  • Shift from juggling everything at once to narrowing your focus on just the next step.

  • Move your body, change your chemistry, and get out of looping thoughts.

  • Curate your inputs by limiting news, social media, and negativity.

  • Lean on connection instead of trying to carry the load alone.

  • Recognize that groundedness is a skill you can practice anytime.
