If December feels like too much and everyone seems to expect you to hold it all together, this episode is the permission slip women have been waiting for. Chalene breaks down the invisible load so many women carry during the holidays, from money stress and body image to resentment in relationships and pressure to make everything perfect. She shares real messages from listeners, stories from her own circle, and why social media comparisons and unrealistic expectations make December feel extra heavy. Then she walks you through a powerful pen and paper exercise to separate what you can control from what you can let go of, and shares surprising new research on one simple habit that can lift anxiety and depression fast. If you have ever felt secretly tapped out, overwhelmed, or quietly angry at everyone around you this month, this conversation will help you release some of that weight and breathe again.

Michael shares a personal update from his concussion recovery journey and the surprising revelation he had while literally spinning at Disney World. Discover why the overwhelm you're feeling isn't a breakdown, but a necessary "circuit breaker" moment designed to stop you from doing things the old way ever again. Key Topics: The "Circuit Breaker" Pop: Why your internal fuse is blowing right now to force you into a higher alignment (and why "no mas" is a positive spiritual statement). The "Spinning" Attunement: How Michael's concussion recovery revealed that leaning into the dizziness is actually the cure.

The 2026 Energy Forecast: Why we are heading into the "year of big, fat, hairy change" and how to prepare now. This isn't about retreating to a cave to wait out the storm.

If overwhelm has become your constant companion - the thing you wake up with, carry through your day, and fall asleep thinking about - your well-being is trying to tell you something. In this episode, we're unpacking why happiness can feel so far away when stress keeps running the show, and how you can manage what's on your plate without sacrificing yourself in the process. If you're longing to feel happier, love yourself more deeply, and finally declutter the parts of your life that feel too heavy, you are absolutely in the right place! My guest, author and Afro-minimalist Christine Platt (Less Is Liberation: Finding Freedom From a Life of Overwhelm), shares how her “normal” busy life quietly turned into a health crisis, and how she began seeing overwhelm as her body's way of saying, Hey, one of your wells is empty. We talk about the five foundations of wellness (your “personal wells”), the emotional labor and mental load so many women carry, and how learning to declutter your stuff, your schedule, and your beliefs can help you manage stress more wisely and reconnect with a sense of happiness in your daily life. We also get into the messy real-world pieces: overwhelm by circumstance (divorce, money, kids, career), people-pleasing, the guilt around saying no, and why so many of us overbuy and hang onto clutter “just in case.” As you listen, notice: Which of your wells has been running low? What are you still trying to prove by doing so much? And what would “less” need to look like for your life to feel more like your life again? Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Constant Overwhelm and Stress: What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You 03:03 Chronic Overwhelm and Hypertension: When Stress Becomes a Health Crisis 05:51 Five Foundations of Wellness: The “Personal Wells” Framework 09:45 Emotional Labor and Mental Load: Why Women Feel So Overwhelmed 12:30 Minimalism as Liberation: Living With Less to Reduce Overwhelm 16:06 Time Scarcity and Productivity: Limiting Beliefs That Keep You Overwhelmed 18:29 Messengers and Limiting Beliefs: Redefining “Selfish” Self-Care 25:32 Overwhelmed by Circumstance: Divorce, Scarcity, and Minimalism by Necessity 32:26 Psychology of Ownership: Why We Overbuy, Hoard, and Accumulate Clutter 42:51 Inner Work Before Decluttering: Healing People-Pleasing and Attachment to Stuff 48:47 Filling Your Wells: Daily Practices for Sustainable Wellness and Well-Being If you're living in that constant state of overwhelm, please know you don't have to sort this out on your own.

Overwhelmed by sensory chaos in your ND home? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April chats slow style home for neurodivergent folks with Zandra Zuraw, interior design coach/author/podcaster helping create meaningful, sustainable spaces without breaking the bank or planet. With 30+ years (Master's in cultural anthropology/public policy), mental health battles, and as parent to a child with special needs, Zandra rebranded "Style Matters" to "Slow Style Home" (2023 book/podcast)—a framework for DIY design focusing on personal meaning over trends. Key insights: Dorm/ND tips: Sensory priority (quiet routines, minimal clutter, comfortable seating/blankets/soft lights)—conversations with roommates for shared space. Clutter management: Game it up (one corner at a time, "what do you love?" questions), limit to passions (display 5 items, store rest). Partner compromise: Curiosity over criticism ("why love it?"), common ground (e.g., shared art/rugs), no negatives—slow evolution. Colors/walls: Test samples (light-dependent), avoid all-white (harsh); start with inspiration (wardrobe favorites, not trends). Priorities: Big investments first (couch/mattress for well-being), then rugs/art (tone-setters, thrifted/sustainable). Slow pace: One room/corner at a time, no shopping first—build from passions (vision boards as decor). For autistic/ADHD young adults/parents, Zandra's framework fights overwhelm: "Take time to save up for what matters." Free podcast episodes at slowstylehome.com. Subscribe for ND home hacks!

If you've been feeling overwhelmed even on the days you're “technically on top of things,” this episode is for you. Hustle culture has taught high achievers like us to fill every inch of our calendars, stretch ourselves thin, and call it normal. But overwhelm isn't a personality trait — it's a sign you have zero margin left. Today, we're talking about the real self-care that keeps you from burning out… not the bubble bath version, but the kind that protects your time, your money, and your emotional bandwidth. In this episode, I'm breaking down the hidden power of margin — the breathing room every ambitious woman secretly craves but rarely prioritizes. If you're tired of operating on fumes, this conversation is going to change how you move. We dive into today: Why back-to-back days are a burnout trap How high achievers confuse “busy” with “productive” The 30-minute buffer that changed my entire life How building in breathing room helps you make decisions from power, not panic Why income is only HALF the equation The reason so many high achievers make more money but feel more stress The “protect the gap at all costs” framework A simple self-care hack: automate your margin and make it untouchable How emotional overload sneaks up on driven women Why people-pleasing drains bandwidth you don't even realize you're losing Setting boundaries without guilt (and why some people won't like it… and that's fine) Why white space in your week is maintenance, not laziness ✨ Come connect with me on Instagram: ⁠@theerickanicole⁠ / ⁠@bossbabereset ⁠  ✨ Podcast produced by: ⁠Your Girl Media⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Are you constantly triggered, stressed, and running on survival mode while trying to be the parent you want to be? In this candid conversation, Rebecca Greene sits down with Christina Fletcher, a spiritual alignment coach and energy healer from the UK, to discuss nervous system regulation, navigating chaos as a parent, and finding calm in the midst of a storm. Christina shares her journey from being an unhappy, overwhelmed mom who felt disconnected from herself to discovering practical tools for regulating her nervous system and showing up authentically for her family.  The conversation covers everything from the science behind triggered nervous systems and tunnel vision to simple techniques, such as focusing on your feet, humming while doing dishes, and breathing in traffic. Christina explains why our children reflect us, how to be the "lighthouse in the storm," and why drama is often the biggest barrier to healing.  5 KEY TAKEAWAYS: ➤ Your nervous system can be regulated anywhere, anytime with simple tools like focusing on your feet, taking deep breaths, or even humming—these practices don't require long meditation sessions or special time carved out of your busy day. ➤ When you're triggered and stressed, you lose all peripheral vision and get tunnel vision on the problem, which is why you can't imagine happy outcomes or find solutions until you regulate your nervous system first. ➤ Children reflect us, and we set the emotional tone for the household—you must be the lighthouse in the storm and take care of your own light because they don't know how to regulate themselves yet. ➤ Drama is one of the biggest barriers to healing and self-connection because it keeps you regurgitating hurt and upset without actually processing what's really happening underneath. ➤ You can't force your children to like each other, but you can teach them to be considerate, remind them that how they treat others determines how they'll be treated back, and trust that their relationship will evolve. QUOTES FROM CHRISTINA: "We have to be able to be the anchor in the storm, or what I call the lighthouse in the storm. You have to take care of your light, because they don't know how to do it." "By dropping your attention to other rhythms, you know, breaking the pattern. Our brains function in patterns. When you actually get back into your body, when you actually focus on your feet, when you anchor into the ground, you shift everything in your system. You regulate, you calm down. You feel more present." "The biggest barrier or preventer of your own connection to yourself and to your heart and to the person you want to be is actually drama. It's like regurgitating all of the hurt and all of the upset without actually processing." "Even if your children are really, really young, you still have to prioritize your sense of value, because our children reflect us. We set the rapport, we set the tone."

Kids are not trying to make your life harder. Parents are not supposed to know everything. Most of what we think of as “bad behavior” is actually a nervous system short-circuiting. And most of what parents call “failure” is really lack of support. Dr. Becky joins Trevor and Eugene for a conversation about tantrums, overwhelm, shame, lying, attachment, repair, and what it means to grow up in a world that was never designed to support families. This episode explains why kids explode, why adults collapse, and why the most important sentence a parent can say is “I am still here.” If you want to understand your child, your parents, or yourself, this episode is worth your time.

This episode is a wake-up call for every real estate agent who's still “thinking about” AI instead of using it. I sat down with Carrie Soave, one of the most influential AI strategists in real estate, and we went ALL IN on what's actually happening behind the scenes of our industry. We talked about how agents are slashing marketing costs, automating workflows that run their business even while they sleep, and using AI to generate leads without expensive lead-gen companies. But here's the truth that every agent needs to hear: AI isn't replacing agents — it's elevating the ones who are ready to evolve.  Carrie breaks down why so many agents feel overwhelmed by tech, what's really holding them back, and how AI can help you think faster, operate smarter, and build deeper client relationships with almost zero extra effort. Imagine remembering every client detail, automating follow-up, creating content in minutes, and having a digital team that never burns out. That's what AI makes possible TODAY — not years from now. If you're ready to stop guessing, stop fearing the tech, and finally step into the next era of real estate, this episode will flip the switch for you. AI is freedom. AI is leverage. AI is the edge top agents are already using. Tune in. Take notes. Your business won't be the same after this one.

Overwhelmed with stress and feeling helpless, she turned to an unexpected source of comfort: baking challah bread. The repetitive kneading, the focus required, the sensory experience - it became her therapy.That personal healing journey became Challah and Soul, where Judi now teaches stressed-out Angelenos (from corporate executives to busy moms) how to find calm through bread-making.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In this episode of She Means Business, Carrie sits down with long-time friend and AI strategist Rick Mulready to talk about what it really looks like to build an AI-first business in 2025 and beyond. If you've been dabbling with ChatGPT, still doing everything manually, or feeling slightly terrified you're "already behind" with AI… this conversation will feel like a deep exhale and a wake-up call all at once. Rick shares how burnout and one simple experiment with ChatGPT led him to completely reinvent his business around AI – and why he believes the biggest shift for online entrepreneurs now is moving from people manager to AI manager. Together, we explore practical, non-techy ways you can start using AI today to save hours every week, make smarter decisions, and free yourself up to do the work (and live the life) you actually want. In this episode, we talk about: How burnout and ChatGPT pushed Rick to pause his "successful" business and pivot fully into the AI space Why traditional "record once, sell forever" courses are getting outdated fast – and why Rick chose a membership model in the age of AI What it means to build an AI-first business instead of trying to bolt AI onto an old way of working The dreaded time audit and how AI can help you see where your time is really going (without a huge spreadsheet) Simple ways to use ChatGPT beyond content: time analysis, decision support, planning trips, troubleshooting real-life problems (like a broken motorhome!) How to use AI to: Draft newsletters and weekly emails in a fraction of the time Turn your FAQ doc into a "world-class" customer support assistant Analyse your P&L, ad stats, or sales pages and get clear, actionable recommendations The difference between "using ChatGPT for a task" and building AI agents that can research, ideate, draft and send things for you What it practically looks like to go from solo operator to having an AI "org chart" across marketing, operations and delivery Why aggregating your business knowledge (courses, FAQs, SOPs, offers, etc.) in one place now will make your future AI setups 10x more powerful How AI is opening up wild creative possibilities – from building apps without being a coder to helping Carrie's 6-year-old turn his stories into books and 3D characters The mindset shift we all need: choosing curiosity over fear, and committing to 20 minutes a day of "AI practice" so we don't get left behind Resources & tools mentioned Connect with Rick Mulready Website & newsletter: rickmulready.com rickmulready.com The AI Playbook® community: The AI Playbook on Skool Skool AI & automation tools we mention ChatGPT – Carrie's go-to for time analysis, meal planning, content, motorhome troubleshooting and more Claude – Rick's favourite for long-form copy like email sequences and sales pages Relay.app – no-code AI workflow + automation tool for building simple agents and workflows Relay Gamma – AI tool for creating slide decks and presentations quickly Gamma Dia – an AI-powered browser from The Browser Company that lets you "chat with your tabs" and analyse what's on your screen in real time Dia Browser (Always check current pricing and plans for these tools, as they change often.)

Most lawyers don't think of their work as a product, but according to Radhika Dutt, author of Radical Product Thinking, that mindset is exactly what keeps firms stuck in reactive mode. In this episode, Radhika and I explore how product thinking applies directly to legal services and why defining the change you want to create for clients is the foundation for a sustainable, client-centered practice.

Life keeps moving faster and faster and our schedules keep getting fuller and fuller. Fortunately, we have access to so much technology to help us keep up. But even though it empowers us to do more, we feel worse. We're glued to our phones, rage baited, and over stimulated. Many of us walk around with a pit in our stomach, anxious over what sources to trust and what catastrophe will strike next. But it doesn't help to blame our phones. It's a neutral piece of technology. 

In this episode of Pastors' Wives Tell All, we sit down with Tara Sun to talk about what it really means to find balance, rest, and peace in the middle of ministry chaos. Drawing from her own experiences of burnout and healing, Tara shares her story of hitting a breaking point—mentally, physically, and emotionally—and how God led her into rhythms of true rest and dependence on Him.Through stories from her new book, Overbooked and Overwhelmed, Tara helps pastors' wives and women in ministry redefine productivity, learn the power of saying no, and embrace the abundant life God offers—one marked by peace and intentionality instead of constant overcommitment. Together, they discuss the importance of community support, asking for help, and letting others carry the load during seasons of grief and exhaustion.This episode is a reminder that rest isn't laziness—it's obedience. You'll walk away with practical encouragement to slow down, reconnect with God in creative ways, and find joy in the simplicity of daily faithfulness.Takeaways:Burnout often comes from good intentions but misplaced priorities.True rest is found in connection with God, not just time off.Learning to say “no” can protect your peace and strengthen your ministry.Community and accountability are essential for lasting health.Redefining productivity allows space for God's presence.It's okay—and necessary—to ask for help and receive care.Simple daily rhythms can rekindle faith and joy.Connect with Tara:WebsiteInstagram: @misstarasunGet all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/book⁠⁠To shop our MERCH, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/shop⁠⁠Want to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, I'm pulling back the curtain and getting very real with you. If you've been feeling anxious, scattered, or unsure - and maybe even wondering if there's something wrong with you - I want you to know this: you're likely not overwhelmed, you're overloaded. You're carrying energy that doesn't belong to you, and it's burying your intuition and your peace. I share candidly about the past two years in my business and life - the failed launches, the chronic over-giving, the hard pivots, and how I'm making different choices now. You'll also hear what I'm changing in my work, why I'm closing Your Yes Filled Life group program, and how I'm creating spaces like The Reset Retreat for intuitive, empathic leaders who want to stop absorbing everything and start trusting themselves again. If you've ever been told you're “too sensitive,” if you feel everything, or if you've silently wondered why things still feel so hard even when you're “doing the work” - this one is for you.

However, problems arise when he finally gets his big break... right around the due date. Overwhelmed, Pasqual decides to hire a double to pretend to be him at work to help take the pressure off.

If you’ve worked in a school for more than five minutes, you know that stress in education doesn’t always arrive as a dramatic “I can’t do this anymore” moment. More often, it creeps in quietly through the constant rushing, the emotional load of caring for students, the relentless pace and the thousand tiny demands that pile up before you’ve even finished your coffee. Many educators tell us they’re exhausted, but oddly unable to “switch off.” They’re wired and tired at the same time. And even when they know they need rest, their body won’t cooperate. This isn’t laziness or lack of resilience; it’s physiology. And understanding the difference can be life-changing. In this episode, I’m joined by Bianca McLeish, a school wellbeing consultant, author and former teacher with more than 20 years of classroom experience, to explore what it truly means to move beyond surface-level self-care and into genuine self-preservation. Bianca brings a powerful blend of lived experience and evidence-informed practice, drawing from neuroscience, psychology and Positive Education to help educators understand the physiology of stress, recognise the early warning signs and regulate their nervous system in real time. In this episode, we cover: The difference between self-care and self-preservation, and why the latter is essential for overwhelmed educators Why you can’t think your way out of stress, and the physiological processes driving overwhelm A simple breakdown of the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic vs parasympathetic) and how it shapes your daily experiences What nervous system dysregulation looks and feels like How to activate the relaxation response even when your brain still senses threat The science behind the stress cycle, why most teachers struggle to complete it, and how to finally close the loop Practical ways to mobilise stress energy even if you don’t have time or energy for a workout Common reasons why educators find it so hard to relax Daily micro-practices to reduce stress during the school day, not just after it About Bianca: Bianca McLeish is a school wellbeing consultant, author and former teacher with more than 20 years of classroom experience across Australia and the UK. Her journey into educator wellbeing began after experiencing burnout herself - a turning point that led her to explore the science behind stress, resilience and sustainable wellbeing. Drawing on a Master of Education in Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing, Bianca blends neuroscience, psychology, Positive Education and lived experience to help teachers regulate stress, restore balance and reconnect with their purpose. As the founder of The Teacher Wellbeing Academy and author of Teacher Wellbeing Transformed: Break Free From Survival Mode Before Burnout, she offers compassionate, evidence-informed strategies that support both individual educators and whole-school communities to thrive. Her mission is to help educators move beyond surface-level self–care and build genuine, sustainable wellbeing rooted in nervous system regulation, practical tools and the belief that teachers deserve to feel safe, supported and empowered.

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable break down the Panthers' 38-7 loss to Miami on Saturday afternoon at Acrisure Stadium. What went wrong for the Panthers, and why weren't they able to get the win to keep themselves in ACC championship contention? Despite Pitt being relatively competitive in the first half, what changed heading into a severely lackluster second? Why hasn't Pat Narduzzi been able to fix recurring issues, like a lack of discipline, poor offensive line play and mistakes in the secondary? Why couldn't the Panthers match up against Miami's star defensive linemen Rueben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor? And where does this leave the program as it enters a bowl game and the offseason? What should Pitt's priorities be in the transfer portal? Our duo answers those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It's time for Rob's yearly journey up north to the Salmon River in New York. The fish he's aiming to catch are lake-run steelhead and brown trout. For weeks, Rob has been monitoring the low water levels while he meticulously crafted flies to complement his already stocked fly boxes, all with the hope of landing a steelhead for Producer Jason. However, this trip didn't unfold as anticipated. Overwhelmed by sorrow, Rob finds himself unable to fish. While he was in New York, two people dear to him passed away. What was meant to be a few days of relaxing casting of flies amidst the snow has turned into just a few hours of swinging in the rain. The episode is divided between the trip preparations and the drive northward. Rob and Jason conclude the episode after Rob shares what went awry and reflects on the loss of his friends.
