The One Percent

#27 - John McIntosh - Overthinking, Overwhelmed… And Owning It


Listen Later

This week, I’m joined by John McIntosh - co-CEO, father of two, and someone who, just a few months ago, felt like he was failing on every front.

Overwhelmed, burnt out, and feeling like he was doing a bad job at work, at home, and everywhere in between - John reached out, not because life was on fire, but because he knew something wasn’t right.

In this episode, we talk about what happens when you’re spread too thin, the trap of thinking you should feel great, and how returning to the basics helped John find clarity, energy, and confidence again.

We cover:

  • What to do when life feels like too much
  • Why self-compassion matters more than self-criticism
  • The power of physical health on mental wellbeing
  • And how agency - not control - is the key to resilience

Whether you’re running on empty, feeling stuck, or just know you’re capable of more - this is a brilliant reminder that simple steps, done well, can make a big difference.

If you’re ready to put your hand up for help - like John did - hit the link in my profile and let’s chat.
