In this week’s episode of the podcast, I’m breaking down why your long to-do list isn’t actually the problem. We tend to make that growing list mean we’re behind, failing, or not doing enough — but what if it’s actually a sign of something really good?  

In this episode, I share four reframes that completely shift the way you interpret your to-do list so you can stop starting your day in stress mode and instead feel grounded, capable, and fully in the driver’s seat again. If you ever look at your list and immediately feel overwhelmed, you’re going to want to listen to this one.  

Topics in this episode:

• Why your to-do list is neutral — and the meaning you attach to it isn’t 
• The four reframes that instantly reduce stress and overwhelm 
• How a long to-do list can signal demand, growth, challenge, and ambition 
• Why starting your day with overwhelm leads to poor decisions and burnout 
• How to shift into strategic thinking, focus, and control no matter the season
