The Fill up to Spill out Podcast

Ep 52: What happens when you have too many goals in this busy middle season of life?


Listen Later

In today’s episode, we’re getting real about something so many of us feel but don’t always name: goal overload.


As driven women and runners, it’s easy to stack our lives with big, exciting goals—marathon training, strength building, nutrition changes, writing a book, chasing a PR, or even launching a new creative project—all while raising kids, working a full-time job, and trying to sleep, hydrate, and be a decent human. 😅


But what happens when the list becomes too long?


In this honest and relatable episode, I’m sharing:

• 💡 The signs you might be juggling too many goals at once

• 🧠 Why multitasking isn’t the solution (hello, burnout and brain fog)

• 🛑 What happens when we don’t make space for the one big thing

• ✍️ Why my own book has been sitting unfinished—and how I’m finally making it a priority

• 🏃‍♀️ Why training for a marathon while trying to lift heavy and lose weight often backfires

• 🗓 How to create a clear plan and timeline for your most important goal


You’ll also hear about:

• My running and writing goals for the rest of 2025

• Why summer is the perfect time to shift your training focus

• How a book I randomly picked up on a trip reminded me of what matters most


Whether you’re working on something big or feeling stuck because you’re trying to do too much, this episode will help you reset your focus and find clarity. Your dreams are worthy—but they need a plan.
