Addicted to Overwhelm: Why Stress Feels Normal (And How To Opt Out)


Listen Later

Welcome back to The Uncensored Self Podcast.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to be addicted to overwhelm – addicted to stress, chaos, and drama – and why so many high-achieving women think it’s just “part of the deal.” You’ll see how this isn’t just a bad habit or personality quirk. It’s an identity and a frequency you’ve been matching without even realizing it.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why stress and overwhelm feel “normal” and even required for success

  • How universal law and energetic matching keep you stuck in chaos

  • The difference between what’s normal and what’s actually natural for you

  • How your identity, stories, and emotional patterns are creating your experience

  • The physical cost of chronic stress on your body, health, and relationships

  • Why getting into different rooms and different conversations changes everything

  • How to raise your frequency so you’re no longer a match for chaos


This episode isn’t just about managing stress better. It’s about no longer being the woman who tolerates a life built on stress, scarcity, and survival – and stepping into the identity of the creator of your reality.


Watch now and learn how to:

  • Spot where you’ve normalized stress and started calling it “who you are”

  • Shift from “my life/job is stressful” to “I’m no longer available for this frequency”

  • Use identity, environment, and energetic standards to create a calmer, more powerful life
