018 If you have ever marked an email unread not because you do not care, but because your brain could not hold all of it at once, this episode is for you.

Candace shares a real life moment that starts with a simple parent teacher conference email and quickly turns into ten invisible decisions, trade offs, and ripple effects. What looks like “just scheduling” becomes something her nervous system simply does not want to touch.

In this episode, Candace explains why busy brains freeze when a task quietly multiplies, why overwhelm feels like a threat, and why telling yourself to “just do it” never works in those moments.

You will also hear this week’s do over, a reset designed to help you stop carrying everything at once and start approaching heavy tasks differently.
