Podcasts about feeling overwhelmed

What if more sales, more traffic, and more marketing aren't actually the answer? Retail businesses don't usually break because the owner isn't working hard enough. They break because the business has outgrown the systems holding it together. In this conversation, Ashley and retail professor Sara Burks break down the Six Layers of Retail—from foundations and finances to team, sales, content, and marketing—and explain why growth has to happen in the right order. You'll learn: Why more information isn't the same as implementation The Six Layers of Retail and why the order matters The BHOS System & how it can become your business's AI assistant Why fixing marketing first can actually make your problems worse Join The Boutique Hub CJC Dynamic Solutions:  CJCDynamicSolutions.com  ____________________________ Ashley Alderson: Instagram     The Boutique Hub: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | TikTok | YouTube

Grab the dinner meal planner: Try the Dinner Meal Planner When life gets loud, your marriage can quietly become the thing you assume will be okay while you handle everything else. Kids. Homeschool. Work. Ministry. Health. Appointments. Dinner. Schedules. But what if staying connected to your husband didn't require another elaborate date night or a huge relationship overhaul? In this episode, I'm sharing one simple weekly rhythm Chad and I have been using during one of the hardest and busiest seasons of our marriage: a weekly marriage meeting. We started protecting this time during my breast cancer treatments, not because our marriage was falling apart, but because we knew we needed to be proactive about staying connected and on the same team. Every Saturday morning, before our kids get up, we grab our coffee and walk through a simple process that helps us communicate, deal with things before they build up, pray and make decisions for our family together, and actually know what's happening in the week ahead. In this episode, you'll learn: How to protect one non-negotiable time each week to connect with your husband Why we start every marriage meeting with five specific appreciations The simple 1–10 question that opens the door for honest marriage communication How we create space to talk through conflict, needs, parenting, and what's happening in our family Why syncing calendars can prevent resentment and reduce the mental load you're carrying How simple home systems have helped us work as a team during an incredibly hard season I'll also share one unexpected change that's come from these meetings: after almost 10 years of me cooking most of our dinners, Chad has cooked more dinners in the last two months than he probably did in the previous decade combined.

As summer begins to give way to fall, our calendars fill up, routines change, and we find ourselves standing at crossroads—wondering what to let go of, what to carry forward, and how we want the next season of life to feel.In this special episode of Holy Shenanigans, Pastor Tara Lamont Eastman explores compassion through the stories of Jacob wrestling with God and Jesus feeding the crowds in the wilderness. What happens when we stop running from our regrets, fears, and uncertainty—and instead choose courage, connection, generosity, and hope?Drawing on the image of a table, Tara invites us to consider not just what we put on our tables, but what kind of table we are creating. Will it be a table shaped by ego and scarcity, or one where compassion makes room for everyone?As you prepare for the busy season ahead, pause for a moment. What are you ready to release? What are you determined to keep? And what would happen if compassion became the central ingredient in the life you're creating?Come wrestle, wonder, and make a little room for some holy shenanigans.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or like your brain is constantly thinking about everything you need to do?In this episode of The Mindset Babe Podcast, I'm sharing one simple mindset shift that has brought me so much peace. When your brain is focused on what's missing, what needs to get done, how far behind you feel, or everything that could go wrong, it's easy to spiral into anxiety and overwhelm.In this episode, you'll learn:

How do you keep a busy family organized when you're juggling work, kids, homeschooling, appointments, activities, meals, and everything else that comes with everyday life? In Behind the Business #6, I'm taking you behind the scenes of the simple planning systems we use in our family every single week. These aren't complicated productivity systems or rigid schedules. They're practical tools that help us communicate better, build routines, share responsibilities, and keep everything from living inside my head. In this episode, I'm sharing the 5 tools I use to plan our weeks: Our weekly fridge calendar that keeps the entire family on the same page My weekly planning sheet and three priorities for the week Our shared Google Calendar and monthly family calendar The kids' weekly checklists we use for school, chores, and daily habits The simple cleaning routine that helps us keep our home running without trying to clean everything at once I also share why I've learned to involve my kids in household routines early, how these systems reduce the mental load of motherhood, and why the goal isn't to have a perfectly organized week. The goal is to create enough structure that your family knows what's happening—and enough flexibility that life can still happen. Want my weekly fridge calendar?

If you've been stuck thinking some version of “I'm so overwhelmed” on repeat, this episode is for you. I'm sharing a simple 6‑question framework that helps you stop arguing with the thought and start getting strategic about it. We'll look at what the thought is costing you, what it might be doing for you (yes, really), and how to decide whether you need a circumstance change, a mindset change, or both. It's practical, a little confronting, and surprisingly clarifying. What You'll Learn: • The 6 questions that break a “frequent flyer thought” loop • How to spot the hidden payoff that keeps a thought pattern alive • Cost/benefit of the thought vs. cost/benefit of the situation (and why both matter) • The difference between changing your schedule and changing your thinking • How to use “cost of change vs. cost of staying the same” to create momentumIf you liked this episode, be sure to check out:

In today's episode, I'm talking about slowing down without feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts and emotions. For years, I believed the safest thing to do was push difficult emotions down.But feelings don't disappear simply because we ignore them. They stay with us, often showing up in our relationships, reactions, and even our physical health. Learning to acknowledge those emotions (rather than numb them) is an essential part of healing + living more fully!The good news? You don't have to unpack everything at once. Just like training a young horse or building strength over time, emotional resilience grows with consistent practice. Choose grace and compassion, and trust that your capacity will grow with time.In this episode, I cover:Why unfelt emotions don't just “disappear” + what they can show up asSimple analogies to help with growing your capacity & feeling your feelingsWhy slowing down begins with compassion & grace for yourselfCreating a safe space and/or finding a safe person to share your feelings withStarting super slow + really acknowledging your emotionsWhy feeling difficult emotions allows you to fully experience joy + happinessUnderstanding that healing can happen when you're in community Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

Helping Homeowners Through Real-Life Situations With Compassion, Solutions & Support When people think about real estate, they often picture open houses, "For Sale" signs, and closing day celebrations. While those moments are certainly part of the journey, they rarely tell the whole story. Behind every home is a family. Behind every move is a life change. And behind every real estate transaction is a unique story. At Boston Connect Real Estate, we've learned that some of the most meaningful work we do has very little to do with square footage or market value. It has everything to do with helping people navigate difficult seasons of life with compassion, patience, and practical solutions. Whether you're caring for an aging parent, dealing with the loss of a loved one, overwhelmed by years of belongings, facing financial hardship, or simply unsure where to begin, you don't have to figure it out alone. Life Happens And Your Home Often Reflects It A home tells the story of the people who live there. Sometimes that story includes decades of family memories, children growing up, holiday gatherings, and milestones worth celebrating. Other times, it reflects life's unexpected challenges. We regularly meet homeowners who are navigating situations such as: The loss of a spouse Divorce or separation Caring for aging parents Moving into assisted living or independent living Job loss or financial hardship Health challenges Probate or inherited property Deferred home maintenance Years of accumulated belongings Adult children living out of state Feeling overwhelmed by where to begin These situations are more common than many people realize, and they deserve to be approached with understanding not judgment. There Is No "One-Size-Fits-All" Solution One of the biggest misconceptions about selling a home is that every property needs to be completely updated, perfectly staged, and ready for hundreds of showings. That simply isn't true. Every homeowner's situation is different. For some families, listing on the open market is absolutely the best strategy because it creates maximum exposure and can result in the strongest offers. For others, a quieter approach may make more sense. In certain situations, an off-market sale or private transaction can reduce stress, preserve privacy, and make an already difficult transition much easier. The right strategy isn't determined by the house, it's determined by the homeowner's needs. Don't Wait Until Everything Is "Perfect" One of the most common things we hear is: "We're going to clean everything up first, then we'll call you." Our advice? Call first. Many homeowners spend months or even years trying to prepare before speaking with a REALTOR®. The reality is that an experienced real estate professional can help you prioritize what truly matters. Sometimes expensive repairs aren't necessary. Sometimes replacing flooring or remodeling a kitchen won't increase your return enough to justify the investment. And sometimes the best plan is simply pricing the home appropriately based on its current condition. The earlier the conversation begins, the more options you'll have. Feeling Overwhelmed? Start with One Conversation Many homeowners don't know where to begin because the situation feels too big. Years of belongings. Deferred maintenance. Important financial decisions. Legal questions. Family dynamics. It's understandable to feel stuck. The good news is that you don't have to solve everything in one day. The first step is simply having a conversation. During an initial consultation, we can help answer questions like: What is my home worth? How much equity do I have? What costs should I expect? What are my selling options? Should I sell now or stay where I am? What professionals should I speak with first? Sometimes, after reviewing everything together, we actually recommend not selling. If staying in your current home and making a few modifications is the better long-term decision, we'll tell you that. Our goal is never just to sell a house it's to help you make the decision that's right for your future. You're Not Alone If You're Caring for Aging Parents One of the most emotional situations we help families navigate is assisting aging parents through a move. Often, adult children are balancing careers, raising families, and living in different states while trying to help their parents make difficult decisions. Questions begin to pile up quickly: What happens to decades of belongings? How do we prepare the house? What should be donated? What should stay? Who coordinates repairs? When should we speak with an attorney? How do we make this transition less overwhelming? These situations require patience, communication, and trusted local resources. That's why we work alongside attorneys, estate professionals, contractors, movers, organizers, clean-out companies, and other professionals to help create a manageable plan. You don't need to have every answer before reaching out. Selling a Home During Financial Hardship Financial challenges can happen to anyone. Unexpected medical bills, job loss, divorce, or the death of a spouse can quickly change a family's financial picture. If you're worried about mortgage payments or wondering whether selling might provide relief, know that asking for help early gives you more options. Waiting until the situation becomes urgent often limits the solutions available. Every homeowner's circumstances are unique, and together we can review your options without pressure or judgment. Every Homeowner Deserves Compassion Some homeowners worry that they're going to be judged because their home isn't perfect. Please don't let that stop you from asking for help. We've seen homes in every condition imaginable. Our focus isn't on clutter or deferred maintenance. Our focus is on helping people. Whether your home needs repairs, contains years of accumulated belongings, or simply hasn't been updated in decades, we'll help you determine the best path forward. Beware of "We Buy Houses" Solicitations Many homeowners receive phone calls, text messages, postcards, and emails from companies offering to purchase their homes for cash. While some investors operate legitimately, others may not have your best interests in mind. Before signing anything or entering into an agreement, it's wise to speak with a trusted real estate professional or real estate attorney who can explain your options and help you understand your home's true market value. An informed decision is always the best decision. More Than REALTORS® At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe our job goes beyond putting a sign in the yard. Sometimes we're problem solvers. Sometimes we're connectors. Sometimes we're simply someone who listens. Whether you're preparing to sell, trying to decide if moving is the right choice, helping a loved one transition into assisted living, or navigating one of life's unexpected challenges, our team is here to guide you every step of the way. No judgment. No pressure. Just honest advice, experienced guidance, and a commitment to helping you move forward with confidence. Let's Start with a Conversation If you're facing a situation that feels overwhelming, remember this: There is no such thing as a hopeless real estate situation. Every challenge has a solution, and every homeowner deserves someone who will take the time to understand their unique circumstances. If you don't know where to begin, start with a conversation. The Boston Connect Real Estate team is here to help you navigate not only the sale of your home—but whatever chapter of life comes next. Watch our live video on Youtube!

Constant busyness overloads your nervous system, triggering automatic emotional reactions instead of thoughtful responses. In my latest episode, I explore the neuroscience behind our reactions. When we're in a state of constant stress, our nervous system becomes overloaded. This pushes our prefrontal cortex (the "thinking brain") offline, leaving our emotional, reactive brain in charge. This is why we might snap at a loved one or agree to a task we don't have time for. I share practical, actionable strategies using micro-moments to break this cycle and help reset your nervous system and reactivate clear thinking. Listen now!

Hi Mamas, Have you ever had one unexpected moment make you feel like all your plans were about to fall apart? That's exactly what happened to my family just 36 hours before we were supposed to leave for Spain. In this episode, I'm sharing the story of the huge curveball that had us questioning whether we'd even make the trip… and the three mindset shifts that helped me move from panic and overwhelm to problem-solving. Life is always going to throw us unexpected challenges. Whether it's something happening at work, a financial setback, a parenting struggle, or an unexpected health issue, we can't always control what happens to us. But we can control how we respond. One simple question completely changed my perspective: "What's my next best step?" Instead of trying to solve the entire problem, I focused on taking one step at a time… and that's exactly what I hope you'll do the next time life throws you a curveball. In this episode, I share: ✨ The unexpected event that almost caused us to cancel our family vacation to Spain. ✨ Why trying to solve the entire problem often creates more overwhelm. ✨ The three mindset shifts that helped me move forward when everything felt uncertain. ✨ How I used ChatGPT as a brainstorming and problem-solving tool during one of our most stressful weekends. ✨ Why different doesn't automatically mean ruined—and how some of life's biggest curveballs often become our favorite memories. My Three Takeaways

Hi Mamas, Have you ever felt like your mind was racing with everything that could go wrong? The work deadlines. The parenting challenges. The never-ending to-do list. The unexpected curveballs that seem to show up at the worst possible time. This week I'm sharing how a simple shift in perspective helped me move from feeling completely overwhelmed to taking productive action. Recording from Valencia, Spain, on my iphone (so please give me grace with the sound quality!_ I  reflect on why we often become overwhelmed… not because we have too much to do, but because we're trying to solve tomorrow's problems before we've taken today's first step. I also share an important lesson I've taught my own kids for years: when life gets messy, you don't have to have all the answers…you just need to know your next right step. In this episode, you'll learn: Why overwhelm often comes from trying to solve everything at once. The one question that can help you quiet an anxious, racing mind. Why clarity comes from taking action… not waiting until you have all the answers. A parenting lesson Kerri hopes her kids never forget. A simple challenge to help you feel calmer and more intentional this week. This Week's Mindset Shift "Overwhelm fades when you stop trying to solve everything and simply ask, 'What's my next best step?'"

Send us Fan MailYou bought something for yourself last week. Something small. Something completely reasonable. And the guilt arrived before you had even finished paying for it.You are not alone in that. And it is not about money. For many midlife women, spending money on themselves triggers a response that feels almost physical — a tightening, a second-guessing, a quiet voice that asks whether you really needed it, whether you really deserve it, whether you should have spent that money on something more responsible. On someone else. That voice is not a financial problem. It is a self-worth problem. And in the final episode of The Unfinished GLOW's Women's History Month series, PK — Dr. Peggie Kirkland — names it precisely, traces it to its roots, and offers a completely different way to hold your relationship with money. In this episode you will find:•       Why spending money on yourself feels wrong — and the surprisingly deep reason it has nothing to do with being irresponsible•       The structural and historical context that explains why so many women carry financial guilt •       The house metaphor that gives you a completely new way to understand where you are in your financial life — without judgment•       The deeper reframe that changes everything: how you manage money is a form of self-respect•       Five practical, do-able financial wellness steps calibrated specifically for midlife women•       The three words that are the most important financial education you will ever receive This is not a lecture about spreadsheets. This is a conversation about what you believe you deserve. And you deserve abundance in every form. This is the series finale of the seven-part series celebrating women.  Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts and find everything at https://www.mommasmotivationalmessages.com 

Looking for ADHD support this summer? My entire 'ADHD Women's Wellbeing Series' is on offer this July. Head here to learn more about the workshops and use code JULY to get 35% off.Now that summer is upon us, it can be both a vibrant and overwhelming time, and can often feel like riding a rollercoaster for your nervous system when you are ADHD or neurodivergent.This season brings a whirlwind of social engagements and activities that ramp up our energy and excitement. But for many of us, this relentless pace leads to overwhelm and burnout if we don't balance that activation with necessary moments of calm. In this episode, we delve into understanding our nervous systems and recognising when we're becoming overactivated.Activation itself isn't the problem; joy, excitement, creativity, travel, and meaningful work can all be activating. But staying in this energy for weeks can lead to reactivity, snapping, disturbed sleep, and emotional exhaustion. Kate shares her tips for bringing balance into daily life through micro mindful moments, rather than waiting for burnout to force you to slow down.You'll hear how you can proactively weave grounding practices into your routine, whether it's a few minutes of breathwork, a walk in nature, or simply pausing to check in with yourself.In this episode, we cover:How summer's whirlwind of social activities can feel exciting but overwhelming, especially for those of us with ADHDWhy understanding the difference between nervous system activation and regulation is key to managing our responses during busy timesDaily moments of regulation aren't luxuries, but necessary maintenance for our well-beingHow grounding activities like yoga, breathwork, or time in nature help us recharge and prevent burnoutWhy listening to our bodies is vital, and how ignoring signs of fatigue often leads to burnoutHow to find a rhythm between activation and regulation, rather than staying in a constant state of high energy or anxiety

Send us Fan MailYou are going through the motions of a life that looks completely fine from the outside.And yet. Something is hollow in the middle of it. Like the color has turned down a few notches. Like you are living in your life but not quite inhabiting it. Like you used to know what your life was for — and somewhere in the middle of all the giving and the doing and the showing up, that knowing got very quiet. If you have been sitting with a version of that feeling — the hollow, the grey, the vague but persistent sense that something is missing even when nothing is obviously wrong — this episode is for you. In this episode, PK — Dr. Peggie Kirkland explores what spiritual wellness actually means for midlife women, why so many of us lose our sense of purpose and meaning during this season of life, and what it looks like to find your way back to the fixed point that has been there all along. In this episode you will find:•       Why feeling hollow inside a life that looks fine from the outside is not ingratitude — it is spiritual depletion, and it is far more common in midlife women than we ever talk about•       The North Star metaphor that reframes the question ‘what is my life for?' from a crisis into a navigation tool•       The research on values alignment and why living out of sync with what you actually believe creates chronic stress in the body•       Five questions that will tell you more about your North Star than any personality test ever could•       One specific fifteen-minute practice that begins to close the gap between the life you are living and the life you actually value Your North Star has not disappeared. You have just been too busy to look up and find it. This episode helps you look up.

Women: Feeling Overwhelmed, Overstimulated, and Misunderstood. In this episode of Paperclips & Periods Podcast, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC and Katie Krych, MSN, RN, PMHNP(c) dive into a topic that resonates with women everywhere: feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, and misunderstood. Through candid conversation, personal stories, and plenty of laughter, Emily and Katie explore the invisible mental load that many women carry every day. From managing households, raising children, navigating careers, supporting relationships, and juggling endless to-do lists, they discuss how overstimulation can often be mistaken for irritability, impatience, or being "mean." The discussion examines the cultural expectations placed on women to remain patient, available, and emotionally regulated at all times, while also highlighting the importance of boundaries, self-awareness, and self-compassion. Emily and Katie share their own experiences with stress, ADHD, motherhood, perimenopause, caregiving, and the challenges of asking for help when life feels overwhelming. Most importantly, they remind listeners that needing a break does not make you selfish, setting boundaries does not make you difficult, and asking for space does not make you unkind. Sometimes what looks like frustration on the outside is simply a nervous system asking for rest. As always, this conversation is not about perfection. It is about creating space for honest discussions, offering practical tools, and helping listeners feel seen, understood, and supported in the realities of everyday life. Paperclips & Periods airs on Dreamvisions 7 Radio Network and supports Dual Minds Integrative Psychiatry, promoting emotional well-being and whole-person care.

Hey friend,  Have you ever felt a wave of sadness or loss about your parenting experience that you couldn't explain — and then immediately felt guilty for feeling it? Do you love your kid completely and still sometimes grieve the summer, the milestones, or the parenting experience you thought you'd have? Has scrolling through other families' photos ever left you with a feeling you couldn't quite name? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever tried to think your way out of stress... and somehow ended up more exhausted?This week, we're resharing a powerful conversation from 2024 that feels just as relevant today.Because for so many high achievers, the answer to overwhelm seems obvious: work harder, learn more, fix the mindset, push through.But what if the thing you're trying to solve isn't living in your thoughts at all?In this episode, Alex sits down with breathwork coach Jen Broyles to explore the hidden relationship between stress, anxiety, performance, and the body.Not from a place of fixing.From a place of listening.Together, they unpack why emotions often stay stuck long after the moment has passed, why resisting what you feel can keep you trapped in it, and how something as simple as your breath can shift the state your brain and body operate from.Because your nervous system is always listening.And sometimes the breakthrough isn't another strategy.It's creating enough space to hear what your body has been trying to tell you all along.What if the anxiety isn't the enemy?What if the buzzing, the overwhelm, the tension, is actually carrying a message?And what becomes possible when you stop fighting yourself and start working with yourself?Sometimes the fastest way forward... is to slow down.

Hey friend,  Do you have flare-ups that seem to come out of nowhere, and you cannot trace them to anything you ate or did? Has your doctor said "everything looks fine" while your body is clearly not fine? Have you wondered if the hard week you just had has anything to do with the way your body feels right now?
