When it's all too much - The Overwhelm

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Welcome to your big meaty episode Lifers.

Today we are unpacking 'the overwhelm.'

If you don't know what that is, we'll walk you through it but it's likely that you've felt it; particularly in the last few years.


In this episode, we unpack how the consistent and relentless overhaul of news, information and expectations of us are leaving us feel overwhelmed and anxious ALL THE FUCKING TIME!

We have Sam Koslowski from The Daily Aus join us to chat about:

-emotional fatigue with news

-compassion fatigue and desensitisation of what's happening around us &

-the privilege debate with switching off.


We also speak about how parenting and our work loads are contributing to our sense of feeling overwhelmed.


We hope you feel less alone and like you're able to relieve a little bit of pressure off of yourself after this episode.


Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your friend, tell your dog and share the love because we love love!!!
