This episode is for every mompreneur who hits December and suddenly feels like she is three steps behind, exhausted, and somehow supposed to turn into a productivity wizard while the kids are decorating cookies in the background.

Everywhere online people are screaming about “finishing strong,” planning for 2026, or “what you should already have in place.” It's no wonder your system feels fried. The world is telling you to speed up while your body is begging you to slow the hell down.

In this episode, I break down what’s actually happening underneath the overwhelm. Why you feel behind. Why your brain is grasping for control. Why clarity feels impossible when your system is overloaded. And how to shift out of the frantic energy so you can end the year grounded, regulated, and proud of the woman you’re becoming.

You’ll hear:

• The tug-of-war between external pressure and your internal rhythm
• Why your brain loves to “finish things” when it’s overwhelmed
• How comparison and urgency fry your clarity
• The simple mindset shifts that calm your system so direction can land again
• The one question to ask yourself before you set another goal this month

If you’re tired of December pushing you around, this episode will make you want to grab it by the jingle balls again.
