Podcasts about Overwhelmed

Feeling overwhelmed while trying to add homesteading skills to an already full life? You're not alone. In this episode of Everyday Homesteading, I'm continuing our conversation about going from overwhelmed to peaceful and sharing what I've learned about building a homestead life that's sustainable for the long haul.This is Part 2 of our series on creating peaceful household rhythms instead of rigid schedules. If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, I recommend starting there and then coming back to this episode so these ideas can really come together.

What does it actually look like when a parent and student commit to graduating college debt-free? In this episode, I sit down with Kelly, a mom and financial advisor who is actively helping her daughter go through college without student loans. We talk through the real conversations that had to happen early — including the moment they decided she would not take student loans — and how having a clear plan changed everything. From a parent's perspective, Kelly shares how being intentional, getting on the same page as a family, and involving her daughter directly in the process made all the difference. We also break down practical steps like getting a job during college, contributing to her own 529 account, and finding campus jobs that allow students to get paid while doing homework. You'll also hear simple explanations of what a 529 account is, how compound interest works, parent loans, and how it compares to a high-yield savings account — all in plain English. If you're a parent, a student, or both, this episode will help you understand how to get started with a real-life debt-free college plan.

What if the reason you feel overwhelmed isn't a lack of discipline, but a lack of capacity? In this powerful solo episode, I'm inviting you to lead your life like a calm, regulated CEO. Not from hustle. Not from force. But from safety, presence, and nervous system support. So many women are trying to build big lives on exhausted systems, then wondering why everything feels hard. Today, I'm breaking down the shifts that help you expand your capacity, regulate your nervous system, and lead yourself with clarity and power.You'll learn what capacity actually is and how your nervous system shapes what you can hold, the key difference between discipline and regulation, and the CEO Reset model for coming back to calm in the moments you feel overstimulated. I'll also share the three daily rhythms that create sustainable energy, the boundaries that protect the CEO within you, and the core truths to anchor into every day, especially if you've been feeling snappy, scattered, touched-out, or like you're constantly behind.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/689 for the show notes.Join my weekly newsletter: www.melissaambrosini.com/newsletterGet my FREE ZenTone Meditation: www.melissaambrosini.com/zentoneFollow me on Instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.

Overwhelmed by hot flashes, brain fog, and a frozen shoulder, Aidan Brame turned to a private clinic when the public system couldn't help. Her experience highlights why more Canadians are paying for menopause care, and what it reveals about gaps in the health system.

A brand that doesn't line up is a silent sales killer. We dig into why readers make snap judgments in under a second, how confusion and inconsistency create friction, and the small, practical moves that turn browsers into buyers. Think of branding as a trust filter: the clearer your patterns, the faster the “yes.”We start with the highest leverage fix—your bio. Using a simple four-line framework, we show how to match voice to genre, humanize your profile, and direct readers to a next step. From there, we tackle a deceptively powerful change: one clear, current photo everywhere. In a world of spammy accounts and AI noise, visual consistency signals “this is real,” boosting recognition and engagement across Amazon, your site, newsletters, and social.Then we sharpen your book description so it stops burying the lead. Open with the promise and stakes, align tone to category, and mirror the best version across your retail page and website. We move into visual cohesion with a lightweight (and easy to implement) brand kit. You'll hear why evergreen banners can save you work, how to align promo assets to the book's typography, and what makes a series instantly recognizable at thumbnail size.Finally, we unlock Amazon Author Central's underused fields—From the Author, From the Inside Flap, and more—to deepen connection and feed the algorithm with relevant, brand-aligned copy. Overwhelmed? Use our 1% rule: make one improvement per week. Update the bio, unify the photo, polish the hook, build the brand kit. These small, steady steps compound into trust, discoverability, and sales.If this helped, subscribe, share with an author friend, and leave a quick review.

Are you leading your home, or just reacting to whatever happens next? If you feel like you're always playing defense, this episode is for you. In Part 3 of our series From Overwhelmed to Intentional, Kent and Lawson get painfully honest about the difference between reacting and responding, and why that gap matters in fatherhood. You'll hear how great leaders put "thinking" between the moment and their mouth, why your intent isn't the same as your impact, and how repentance can actually remove pressure from your kids. You'll also get a practical reframe for the busyness trap, especially when family schedules start running the house. Sports, activities, money, time, energy. What's the real win, and what's the real cost?

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.   Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken guides listeners through a short, gentle nervous system practice designed to build emotional safety and regulation in the body. This episode is not a teaching conversation. It is a guided experience. If you feel emotionally numb, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or constantly "on," this practice is designed to help your nervous system step out of survival and into safety. Rather than forcing calm or positive thinking, this exercise focuses on breath, orientation, and gentle body awareness to help the nervous system recognize the present moment and begin restoring emotional access. This episode can be used daily, revisited when emotions feel overwhelming, or shared with someone who needs a simple place to start. It is especially helpful for those who do not yet have access to guided emotional healing work like Splankna but want to begin teaching their body that it is safe. >>>Thinking of getting certified?

A pop up clinic offering free dental care in Wairoa has been overwhelmed with demand in an area that hasn't had a full time dentist for half a decade. The clinic is a joint project between Health New Zealand, iwi, Kahungunu and Hawkes Bay's Golden Apple dentists. Patients have been prioritised according to need and there has been lots of them keen to get in the chair, with the clinic's two week run almost over. Dr Isha Woodhams of Golden Apple Dental spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with Lori Woodley-Langendorff to unpack a leadership truth we don't practice enough: emotional intelligence isn't a “nice to have” — it's essential. Lori is an acclaimed author, educator, and expert in social-emotional literacy (SEL) who co-founded the non-profit "All It Takes" with her daughter, actress Shailene Woodley. Drawing from Lori's 30-year career as a school counselor (and her lived experience as a parent), this conversation bridges the gap between personal growth and professional leadership, reminding us that the workplace has officially changed… and our emotional skills need to catch up.Together, Erin and Lori explore emotional intelligence (EI) and social emotional literacy (SEL) as learnable, trainable skills, not personality traits you either have or don't. Lori introduces her SEL Muscle framework, a practical, no-fluff approach to building emotional resilience, strengthening communication, and leading with both connection and accountability. The result? Healthier teams, better relationships, and leaders who can handle overwhelm without passing it down the chain.Inside This Episode:Emotional Intelligence at Work: Why EI is foundational to modern leadership and personal growthSEL Is a Muscle: How social emotional literacy strengthens with intentional practiceConnection + Accountability: Why you need both to build trust and credibilityEmotional Awareness: How noticing feelings early prevents stress, burnout, and breakdownsThe SEL Muscle Framework: Practical tools for emotional resilience and clearer communicationModeling the Way: Why leaders must “walk the talk” emotionally, not just strategicallyCuriosity Without Judgment: How this one shift transforms relationships at work and homeWho This Episode Is For:Leaders who feel the emotional weight of their roleManagers navigating overwhelm, conflict, or disengagementParents and professionals juggling accountability with compassionPeople leaders ready to strengthen emotional resilience and communicationAnyone who wants to lead with more awareness and connectionYour FreebieYou've tried the color-coded calendars, the habit apps, and the “this is the week I finally get it together” pep talk… and it still doesn't stick.

Do you lie awake at night worried about money?If financial stress has left you feeling anxious, ashamed, or trapped, this episode will encourage you and help alleviate some of your fear. In today’s Faith Over Fear conversation, host Jennifer Slattery sits down with Todd Moore, Director of Education at Trinity Debt Management, to talk honestly about financial fear, scarcity mindsets, and the emotional weight money struggles carry—especially in today’s economy. Todd shares his powerful story of growing up with scarcity, accumulating debt as a first-generation college student, and eventually discovering that financial hardship doesn’t define your future. Together, Jennifer and Todd explore why money anxiety impacts our sense of safety, how past trauma can intensify present fear, and why struggling financially is far more common—and far less shameful—than many realize. You’ll also hear practical, grace-filled encouragement for anyone who feels overwhelmed or stuck, including: Why financial hardship doesn’t mean you’ve failed How fear affects the brain—and why support matters Small, doable steps you can take right now to regain clarity How God’s compassion meets us in seasons of financial uncertainty Why asking for help can be the turning point toward freedom If you’re facing job loss, debt, rising expenses, or lingering fear rooted in past instability, this episode offers both biblical reassurance and practical hope.

Where have you been tempted to believe that your financial situation defines your worth, faith, or future?What truth from Scripture counters that belief? What would it look like to stop facing financial stress alone?Who might God be inviting you to reach out to for support, guidance, or education?

I'm so glad you're here today. Since we're still in January — that season when many of us are setting fresh goals, making plans, and dreaming about what 2026 could look like — we wanted to lean into that ‘new year energy' and offer some practical support. Last week, we talked about Why Your Goals Don't Stick and how busy moms can actually achieve their goals in 2026 using SMART planning. We broke down what makes a goal achievable and how to set yourself up for success. Today, we're shifting our focus to something just as important — your mindset. Because while strategy matters, your mindset is what determines whether you end up feeling peaceful and focused… or burned out and overwhelmed. Burnout is incredibly common for moms — especially when you're juggling kids, work, home life, relationships, and the never-ending mental load that comes with managing a household. In this episode, we'll explore why mindset matters so much, and walk through a few key mindset shifts moms can make to move from survival mode to a life that feels sustainable, calm, and supportive.

If you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and still staring at the same fundraising numbers, this episode is your reset.In this episode, I'm breaking down why most nonprofit leaders don't actually need more ideas, tactics, or tools; they need better systems, clearer priorities, and fewer distractions.

Do you ever wonder if you can really trust the God of the Bible when things feel and are dark and discouraging? How do you synthesize with honesty Jesus loves me & The Lord is my Shepherd when your prayers are not answered, not only for yourself, but for those you love so very much? Today we welcome for the second time, author and disability advocate, Jillian Benfield, and we get to talk about her latest book, Overwhelmed and Grateful—the Key to Finding God's Goodness in All Life's Ups & Downs   Benfield can speak to our suffering & call us to remember God's goodness all at the same time. We first met Jillian on Living a Legacy Life, Ep 183, and you will be so encouraged today as we talk about what it means to endure life's challenges and trials & practice honesty, gratitude and awe. She's hosting a book giveaway so be sure to comment below or on social media to be entered to win her beautiful and faith-encouraging book, Overwhelmed and Grateful—the Key to Finding God's Goodness in All Life's Ups & Downs. Some gems from our conversation I do not want to become an old woman who let the beauty of her life become the background. I no longer trust that God will rescue me from my humanity. Instead, I trust in a God who will love me through it. It's essential to remember God's goodness is always at work even when we don't see it. The bad part of your day or life doesn't define you; look for the beauty in the now, the mystery of God's goodness.  We learn from Ecclesiastes that we need lay our questions down & move forward, anyway.  I am working on becoming a person who is easily delighted. There will always be challenges, there will always be beauty. Being human is living with both. Living gratefully acknowledges a God who can be trusted.    

Pain and hardship are part of life. From ancient Greece and Rome to now, people have faced plagues, wars, illness, and loss. The question has never been how to avoid it, but how to endure it and find meaning through it. In today's episode, Ryan shares practical Stoic methods that have been tested for centuries to help reduce anxiety, anger, and stress, build real resilience, and become stronger when life gets hard.

Hi fellow co-creators!  In this episode of Feminine Power Time, we pause together to set ourselves up for the cycle ahead — not just the linear calendar year, but the deeper transition we're moving through as we rise into the next seasonal and lunar turn. This is an orientation conversation. A grounding conversation. One meant to help us stay centered, calm, and clear as the pace of the world continues to speed up. Every year at the start of a new yearly cycle - I tune in for wisdom, insight and focus for the path ahead, and then I wait until the guidance is clear. it's never on Jan 1 (for obvious reasons) ... but it's always before the lunar new year, and is so much richer because I didn't rush to follow the timeline the mainstream matrix is on. That's how we roll when guided by grace and wisdom :)  As we explore what's ahead in this next cycle, I'll invite you to slow your system, tune your awareness, and work with a few practical (and powerful) ways to stay oriented — personally, relationally, and as conscious co-creators in the larger field. A few wisdom bites to listen for (and maybe write down) When the world speeds up, the wise ones slow down. Presence comes before productivity. Orientation is a practice — not a one-time insight. You don't need to do everything — you need to know your part. When you get "gooped," don't isolate — conversate. In this conversation, we explore Working with natural cycles (lunar + seasonal) to stabilize the nervous system this year  Staying oriented when things feel fast, intense, or overwhelming Doom scrolling vs sanity scanning The Triangle of Sacred Transformation: release the past, stabilize in the now, create the way for the new A simple practice to clarify what you need, desire, and require for the cycle ahead

If you love the idea of homesteading but constantly feel behind, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted, I recorded this episode for you.In Part 1 of this new series, I'm sharing the household system that helped me move from constant pressure and burnout to a calmer, more sustainable rhythm of life. I talk about why overwhelm usually isn't a discipline problem and why trying to “work harder” often makes things worse, especially for busy moms caring for families while adding homesteading skills.I share why stacking homesteading on top of an already full life doesn't bring peace, how historical households managed full workloads without living by the clock, and the simple mindset shift that helped me stop feeling like I was always behind.This episode lays the foundation for creating a homestead life that fits real seasons, real energy levels, and real families, without guilt or burnout.Learn more about the Homestead Kitchen Membership and the Peaceful Homestead Rhythm Challenge here: homesteadingfamily.com/podcast-hkmThanks to American Blossom Linens for sponsoring this podcast.

Have you ever wanted to respond kindly… but everything inside your body felt tense, overloaded, and foggy? In this short episode, I'm sharing a real moment from my week and the 20-second reset I use when my patience is gone and my nervous system is maxed out.I'll explain why overwhelm can flip us into reactive “survival mode,” why willpower isn't enough in that moment, and how a tiny “pattern interrupt” can help you reconnect to calm—without needing a quiet house or a perfect morning.We'll anchor it in Isaiah 26:3 and I'll walk you through a simple, repeatable reset you can use today—right in the kitchen, hallway, or laundry room.Quick favor: I want to hear your voice, for 2026 episodes.I'm running a giveaway for a hard copy of my Movie Schooling book, and I made a 2-minute survey so I can build 2026 episodes around what you actually need right now.

Ever feel like you're talking… and it goes straight through your kid's ear and right out the other? This week in part 2 of our series we're calling "From Overwhelmed to Intentional," Kent and Lawson get super practical about communication with your kids, especially in the teen years.   You'll be challenged to consider why "Why won't they listen?" might be the wrong question, how your posture and timing matter more than your volume, and why listening is not weakness, it's leadership leverage. Lawson shares a real story from a weekend with his daughter in New York that reframed how he shows up in deeper conversations. Kent breaks down how to season hard conversations with grace (Colossians 4:6), ask questions that are not "gotchas," and trade control for influence so your kids learn to listen to God, not just comply with you.   If you want the kind of relationship where your kids, no matter the age, want to talk to you, this is a deposit worth making.   Want to shape the direction of the show this year?

He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.   Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

Have you ever looked up from your day and realized you've been moving on autopilot, rushing from one demand to the next without fully landing anywhere?   In this mini jolt episode of Electric Ideas, Whitney offers a grounded, thoughtful conversation for mothers who want to feel more present and more connected in the middle of real life.   Whitney explores why modern motherhood can feel so fragmented, from constant digital interruption to the unrelenting mental and emotional load many women carry. She reflects on how chronic overstimulation pulls us into urgency and reactivity, even when our deepest intention is to show up with care, steadiness, and joy.   She then shares simple mindfulness tools that can be used in minutes and woven into everyday moments. These include brief check-ins with the body and breath, gentle awareness practices, and walking with intention, all designed to support presence without adding another task to your day.   This episode is an invitation to relate to motherhood with more awareness and self-trust, to slow down without falling behind, and to bring more choice into how you move through your days. If you are craving a steadier inner pace and a more connected way of living, this mini jolt meets you right where you are.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: Why many moms crave presence but feel constantly pulled, distracted, and fragmented How mindfulness can help moms reconnect without adding another thing to the to-do list The distinction between meditation and mindfulness and why both matter Why mindfulness isn't about fixing yourself, but about noticing without judgment Two accessible mindfulness practices moms can use immediately: Reflection question to ponder:  Where in my days can I build in intentional pauses?   Learn more about 1:1 coaching with Whitney - book a 15-minute Spark Session   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l 10 Soulful Journaling Prompts | Electric Ideas Podcast

A few weeks into the new year, it's easy to feel discouraged, especially if the goals you set already feel heavy or out of reach. In this episode, I talk about why that happens and what I do instead. I share why traditional goal-setting can feel like using the wrong map in motherhood, how shifting to a vision changes the entire experience, and why the real work isn't about doing more, it's about who you're becoming along the way. I'll share: Why time-based goals often create pressure and self-doubt in full seasons of life How a vision gives direction without demanding speed or perfection Why regular reflection helps you make progress without carrying shame or discouragement

Are we living in the most anxious generation ever? In this powerful and hope-filled conversation, Max Lucado joins us to talk about anxiety, mental health, and the unseen struggles so many kids and teens are facing today—and what parents can do about it.With constant access to phones, social media, and nonstop information, anxiety often shows up sideways in our kids through anger, withdrawal, or fear. Max explains what's happening in the brain, why anxiety feels like an alarm that never shuts off, and how parents can become a soft place to land when emotions run high.We also talk about the importance of parents addressing anxiety in their own lives, how worry steals joy and peace, and why our presence (not perfection) is what God desires most. Max shares encouragement for praying parents, reminding us that Jesus never turned away a parent who asked for help for their child. Here is some of what we cover:  Why today's kids are facing unprecedented levels of anxiety The physical and emotional toll of chronic worry Why a parent's physical presence matters more than we realize Max Lucado's personal faith journey and what God taught him about presence over performance Connect with Max Lucado:  Instagram: Max Lucado (@maxlucado) Facebook: Max Lucado Website: Max Lucado Links Mentioned:   Calm Thoughts for Kids: 90 devotions for Anxious Days  Tame Your Thoughts: By Max Lucado Anxious for Nothing by Max Lucado Hermie Series–Buzby and the Grumble Bees **SIGN UP to Join Heather and Megan at Pro Love Saturday for Embrace Grace Related Episodes: Life Empowered by the Holy Spirit :: Max Lucado [Ep 381] You Are Never Alone :: Max Lucado [Ep 298] From Overwhelmed to Anchored: Replacing the Lies of Motherhood with God's Truth :: Erica Gwynn [Ep 544] Featured Sponsors:  Cove : Make protecting your home one of your New Year's resolutions!
