Hey Mumma, I get it! As a mum we have a constant to do list going through our mind and that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, especially when we can't tick things off it.

Sometimes we have "internal overwhelm" that is actually causing external factors to seem more mentally consuming than they should be. Today on the podcast I am chatting about TWO things that may be contributing to your overwhelm. And the good news is we have total control over these things and therefore can make changes, which I share in the episode too.
