6 Hidden Sources of Stress (& How to FIX Them)
Send us Fan Mail
You already know mom life is stressful. What you DON’T know are the real underlying reasons why. It’s not just the kids, the house, your job, your marriage, your to-do list. It’s the subtle ways your brain tries to sabotage you through six hidden factors: decision fatigue, procrastination, the planning fallacy, inefficiency, ineffectiveness, and overwhelm.
In this episode, I break down each of these six hidden sources of stress, where they really come from, and (most importantly) how to FIX them. Punchline? What you think is the problem is merely the symptom. Each of these six stressors is coming from something way deeper.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- How decision fatigue drains your energy before you ever get a chance to be productive.
- Procrastination isn’t laziness; it’s emotional avoidance.
- Overestimating what you can do in the short-term while underestimating your long-term potential keeps you miserable.
- Ineffectiveness comes from working against your body’s natural energy rhythms.
- Overwhelm is rooted in tying your worth to others’ perceptions and feeling a constant need to earn your worth.
- My signature “5 Ds” prioritization method to cut through the noise and clarify what really MATTERS most.
