This week and next week, I’m sharing a presentation I give on Overwhelm entitled: 

“8 Mistakes You Are Making that Cause Overwhelm”

In the presentation, I break down overwhelm into a basic formula with two parts. Then I cover 4 mistakes within each part of the formula that contribute to your overwhelm.

Today I’m talking all about the first half of that formula. Next week, I’ll talk all about the second half of the formula.
