From Chaos to Calm: How I Stopped Drowning in Overwhelm as a Divorced Single Mom
Feeling like you’re always one ping away from burnout?
In this solo season finale of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I’m getting real about what it takes to find calm after divorce — when you’re juggling solo parenting, solopreneurship, and the endless to-do list.
What happens when your to-do list never ends, your phone never stops pinging, and you’re the only one keeping everything together? As I prepared for a week unplugged in the mountains, I opened up about the spiral of control, anxiety, and exhaustion that so many women face — and how learning to let go became the key to freedom.
🔑 What You’ll Learn
- How to stop letting conditions you can’t control dictate your mood and energy
- Why multitasking is a myth that drains your focus and joy
- Simple tech detox strategies to reclaim presence (and sanity)
- The “one thing” method to stay grounded when life feels impossible
- Why burnout recovery starts with permission — to rest, to say no, and to let go
🎧 Tune in to hear how I turned chaos into clarity, and how you can start doing less to create more peace, presence, and purpose in your day.
