Breaking the Overwhelm Spiral: How to Reset When You’ve Hit Capacity

Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by the sheer volume of your to-do list, struggled with the pressure to always be “on,” or hit your personal capacity wall, this conversation is for you. Join me as I share my recent experience navigating overwhelm, unpack how our trauma responses kick in, and reveal strategies to get back into flow without losing sight of what matters most.

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

  • The reality of overwhelm for ambitious women and why it’s okay to admit you’re struggling.
  • My personal freeze response and how it shows up during high-pressure times.
  • Learning to identify your limits and balance multiple passion projects without burning out.
  • Practical nervous system regulation tools, like box breathing and guided visualization.
  • How binge-watching Harry Potter became my ultimate self-care hack (it’s not just about magic!).
  • Why focusing on the gain rather than the gap is crucial when you’re chasing big goals.
  • The importance of incorporating rest as a non-negotiable part of your routine.

    • If you’ve been feeling stuck, stressed, or like you’re spinning too many plates at once, this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and recharged.
