Practical, Proven Tools I Use When I Fee...

Mel Robbins
About this episode

In this episode, you and I are tackling overwhelm together as I coach five listeners just like you who are tired of feeling so stressed.

 

I promise this will be helpful, fun, and full of powerful tools you can put to use immediately.

 

You need that because you’re drowning in your to-do lists, taking care of everyone else but yourself, and you’re saying yes to every commitment that enters your inbox. 

 

That’s why simple solutions are the answer.

 

And I need these solutions too. I feel like my to-do list is overflowing and the demands are piling up.

 

But that’s okay, because with The Mel Robbins Podcast, you get to show up exactly as you are.

 

And today, we will start breaking down the two types of overwhelm so you can understand exactly what it is you’re dealing with. 

 

But we don’t stop there.

 

You’re also getting three simple but profound strategies to help you eliminate the overwhelm from your life.

 

So that you start feeling energized again. 

 

And I so want that for you.
