Listen Later

Today's episode is a bit personal. I've been feeling more anxious and overwhelmed than usual, and I want to share the real-life stuff I've been doing (and NOT doing) to manage these feelings while balancing everything on my plate. If you've ever felt completely swamped while juggling a full-time job, a business, and family life, this episode is for you. Grab a drink, get comfy, and let's dive in.

It's normal to feel overwhelmed, and I'm sharing how I manage these feelings, plus a few things I've learned that help me stay focused even when things get chaotic. (and I don't even mention 'self-care')

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • It's okay to feel overwhelmed: It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed, especially when you're juggling multiple big responsibilities. Acknowledging it and accepting it is the first step in finding your way through.

  • What I do when I'm feeling anxious: When anxiety hits, I have a few go-to strategies—like acknowledging the mess, leaning into my support system, and giving myself permission to take breaks without guilt.

  • What I don't do when I'm feeling anxious: There are things I intentionally avoid doing when I'm anxious—like adding unnecessary tasks to my plate, beating myself up over missed self-care, and keeping everything in my head instead of communicating clearly with those around me.
  • How to stay grounded in chaos: Even when everything feels out of control, you can stay grounded by breaking things down into small, manageable tasks and focusing on what's in front of you.

It's okay to feel overwhelmed. Embrace the chaos, use strategies that work for you, and keep pushing toward your dreams. You've got this!
