In this episode, Katie and Allie talk about how to deal when it feels like your life and the world are on fire and you have no control so you can protect your wellbeing, prevent self sabotage, and set yourself up to make progress again when you're ready. This episode will help anyone who is feeling overwhelmed and unable to improve the things in their life, and the world, that matter to them and want to know what they CAN do in times like these.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

  • A metaphor to better understand how we accidentally self sabotage when we're just trying to cope with overwhelm, and how to respond instead.
  • What to do when you feel like you just need to do SOMETHING but there's nothing you actually CAN do about the situation.
  • Katie's "2 minute rule" for motivating yourself to do the self care you're procrastinating.
  • What types of exercise can help you release stress, and when exercise actually increases anxiety in the mind and the body.
  • What type of socializing is energizing, and the type that's draining.
  • Tons of concrete practices for managing stress, anxiety, and overwhelm so you can stay grounded and well.
