In a world that prizes what we do far more than who we are, feeling overwhelmed can feel like the status quo and even validating—while feeling relaxed means you're not working hard enough. But that kind of thinking is wreaking havoc on our bodies and our minds. When our bodies whisper, "I can't do this anymore" and we actually listen, when we set boundaries around what we need instead of piling more on our plates, we begin to beat back the feelings of overwhelm we were never made to carry. If you're finding yourself weary and burned out, this episode's for you—Emily will take you by the hand, help you slow down and find tangible ways you can carve out some space to care for yourself. Because when you believe the world actually benefits when you care for yourself, that feeling of overwhelm will become far less all-consuming.
