CALM THE CHAOS!

Every season brings pressure: for kids, coaches, and parents alike. In this episode of Talkin' Shop, we dive into how to help young athletes overcome nerves and perform with confidence, how coaches can better understand and support neurodiverse players, and how to communicate clearly (and calmly) with the well-meaning but ever-present helicopter parent.

Practical advice, real stories, and tools you can use at your very next practice. ⚾

Let's be honest—most of us are walking around carrying more than we show. From pressure to perform, to constant noise, to the never-ending list of things we “should” be doing.You're showing up, keeping it together, handling responsibilities, checking the boxes, being dependable. On the outside, everything looks like it's working.But on the inside? You're running on low. You're tired.And the worst part? It can feel like you don't have permission to slow down.But here's the truth: Just because you can carry it all doesn't mean you should. And : being stressed out doesn't mean you're broken. It means you're human.This episode isn't about ignoring the stress or pretending it's not real. It's about learning to spot it, name it, and create moments of steadiness inside the storm. Because you my friend deserve to feel balanced, happy and at ease, too.Follow me on instagram for more inspiring, motivational and uplifting content. See you there❤️

Show notes: https://www.tamihackbarth.com/blog/episode-259 If I were in charge of how the world operates, I would definitely sleep as little as possible, stay horizontal in my soft pants, drink caffeine in the AM, and booze it up at night while eating BBQ potato chips and candy corn and feel FANTASTIC! But alas, I am not in charge. Instead we have to subscribe to human biology 101 or feel like a bucket of hot garbage or rusty buckets of bones. Or Boooooth.

Someone recently said that since the plan is to overwhelm and exhaust us into giving up, we need to look at our own behavior in order to survive this administration. The goal is to watch the rollercoaster without getting on the rollercoaster. Watching a rollercoaster feels way different than riding a rollercoaster, doesn't it?

PAUSE… Like a swarm of bees, The chaos is loud and feels tumultuous. Little pieces of energy darting in every direction. The thoughts, The emotions, The splitting of your energy trying to dance with it all. PAUSE… But step back a bit, dear one, And know that you are not the chaos. You can step away from the swarm, And allow it to continue its movements without you. You can choose to stop dancing erratically, And instead, Surrender to the calm. The calm will first saturate your body, Then your mind, And finally, your soul, So you're drenched in its blue waters. And because you allow it to do so, It will then emit its calming waves out from you, Calming the chaos from which you came. PAUSE… The bees will depart, The space will clear, The noise will dissolve.  And then, All that exists is the calm within you, And the calm around you, Wrapping you up in its blankets and carrying you off into the night. LONG PAUSE… So let yourself inhale a bit deeper, And exhale a little longer, Feeling your body slow down, Feeling your mind slow down, And letting your soul relax. PAUSE… Feel the blankets of calm covering you, As you release the tension from your face, Lower your shoulders, Open your chest, Soften your belly. PAUSE... Feel the calm cascading down your spine, From your neck, All the way down your back, Melting you deeper into your bed.  PAUSE… Feel your hips release, Your thighs relax, Your right leg grow heavy, And your left leg melt.  PAUSE… Let your toes release any energy left in your body, As your feet soften. LONG PAUSE… Sleep now, As your body is wrapped in the blankets of calm. As your mind swims in the sea of silence, And your soul is one with deep peace. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.

Do you feel like you're constantly in survival mode?  Do you wish you could calm the chaos and finally live more intentionally? Taking a personal inventory may be the key to taking stock of where you're at right now, understanding your needs, and then moving forward on a path of sustainable self-care.  Today's guest is Kari Davis from The Well - Health and Wholeness Podcast. She is founder of thewellteam.com and a certified Holistic Life Coach and an essential oils educator. Kari is passionate about empowering women with the tools they need to reclaim their life through self care, health and finding their identity while embracing the idea of a natural and non-toxic lifestyle in their products and mindset.  Kari and her husband, Bobby, live in Naples, Florida with their combined five children. Kari and I talk about how her life "derailed" after the unexpected death of her husband TJ in 2015 and the steps she took to take inventory of her life and proactively redefine self-care so she could move forwards.  Resources Mentioned: Connect with Kari on The Well - Health and Wholeness Podcast, her website, and Instagram.
