Pregnancy is an exciting journey, but it can also feel incredibly overwhelming. Today's episode is inspired by a message from a listener struggling with the mental and emotional load of preparing for their baby's arrival. If you feel overwhelmed, know you're not alone. Between making important decisions and tackling a never-ending to-do list, it is easy to feel like there's too much to do and not enough time to get it done. In this episode, we will explore why pregnancy can feel so overwhelming and how to manage the stress that comes with it. Learn about decision fatigue, why even small choices can feel exhausting, and how to simplify your decision-making process. Get practical strategies to break tasks into manageable steps and set realistic priorities. Most importantly, you'll learn how to take a step back, refocus your energy on what truly matters, and navigate this journey with more confidence and less stress.
