Listen Later

💡In This Episode You’ll Learn:

🌟 Why Overwhelm Isn’t About Time—It’s About Clutter

Your schedule, your expectations, and even your inner world can become overcrowded. And when life gets too full, even blessings feel like burdens.

🕊️The Spiritual Importance of Simplicity

Psalm 18:19 reveals that God leads us into “a spacious place.” Joy and peace rise when your soul has room to breathe.

🌟 The High-Performance Reason Simplicity Works

High performers don’t do everything—they do the right things well. Simplicity amplifies energy, clarity, and presence.

🌟 The Four Root Causes of Overwhelm

  1. Unclear priorities
  2. Unprotected boundaries
  3. Unmanaged commitments
  4. Unmet needs for rest and presence
  5. Understanding these helps you reclaim control of your time and emotional bandwidth.
