Ep 50: Overwhelmed by Overwhelm


Listen Later

There are times when life throws you curveballs, and suddenly, you're juggling multiple responsibilities while trying to stay afloat. This was my reality a few weeks back, when my husband was out of town, and I had to grapple with unexpected hiccups.

Amidst the whirlwind, I found solace in an unexpected moment with my seven-year-old son, which turned into a beautiful lesson about acknowledging our emotions and showing kindness to ourselves. During these trying times, it's easy to feel like we're not allowed to be overwhelmed. But what if we flipped that narrative?

Join me as we weather the storm together, reminding ourselves that it's okay to feel, to seek help, and most importantly, to be human.

What you'll learn: 

  • The importance of allowing yourself to feel overwhelmed
  • How to communicate and ask for backup when dealing with overwhelm
  • Techniques for acknowledging and dealing with emotions in the body
  • Applying mindfulness and self-awareness to better understand and manage feelings of overwhelm
