198. Don't Let Overwhelm Stop You

What if “I just can’t do it all” is just a thought, and not the truth? In this episode, I’m recording from my backyard with the dogs, after taking my own advice and clearing my afternoon to rest, and I share what happens when life piles up right as your business finally starts going well.

I walk through why I see overwhelm as a capacity problem, and the simple phrase that helps me feel more capable and regulated: “I can hold this.” I also share what some powerful comments on a recent post taught me, a conversation with my husband about the belief “I’m not enough,” and why this is never about holding everything you’re expected to. It’s about the things you want to hold, and choosing them from capability instead of obligation.
