The Truth About Overwhelm: Why You Feel ...

Rebecca Olson
About this episode

Today, we’re digging into the real reason you feel so out of balance - and no, it’s not just your calendar. I’m talking about overwhelm: what it really is, how it hijacks your body, and the two ways women typically respond to it. I’ll help you figure out which one you are and walk you through how to stop the cycle in the moment. Plus, I’m sharing a super practical tool that takes just 10 minutes a day and has helped tons of working moms go from frazzled to focused. If you’re tired of the burnout hamster wheel, this episode is a must-listen.  

Topics in this episode:

  • What overwhelm actually is (hint: it’s a nervous system thing) 
  • The 2 types of overwhelmed moms - are you a procrastinator or a hyper-doer? 
  • How to break free from the fight-or-flight response in real time 
  • Long-term strategies to stay out of overwhelm for good 
  • A free 10-minute Daily Kickstart tool to help you feel in control and calm
