Podcasts about overwhelm

What if your inability to change habits and reactions wasn't about lack of willpower or being lazy, but was actually about your body not having enough energy to make the change? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie goes into the biology behind why so many people feel stuck in old patterns or habits, expanding on her conversation with Katie Wells from Episode 123. She answers a question from Jessica, a therapist, about why her clients intellectually understand their problems but can't seem to make changes stick and feel drained after therapy. Dr. Aimie explains how trauma becomes an energy problem in your body. She breaks down what happens inside your cells when trauma gets stored and why healing requires energy that many people simply don't have. You'll hear more about: How trauma affects your body's mitochondria (aka the cellular powerhouses) The warning signs that your energy system is struggling Why feeling exhausted after therapy means your body doesn't have the energy to heal (Hint: You're NOT actually failing!) Simple steps you can take today to boost energy levels naturally If you know what your problems are but can't seem to change them, or if you're helping someone who's stuck in this cycle, this episode offers practical steps that actually work with your biology instead of against it. To hear the full conversation, listen to Episode 123: Light, Sleep, and High-Impact Habits to Heal Your Nervous System  

For today's episode, I'm bringing back an episode from pandemic times. We are featuring an encore presentation of Episode 197, Burnout and Managing Overwhelm. Even though this episode was about managing the challenges and stress that came with life during a global pandemic, there is much application to be made to life today. These coping skills and tools are ALWAYS needed as we face frightening and overwhelming days. Stress can turn into anxiety and depression as we become judgmental with ourselves, and we all need a reminder to take care of ourselves, no matter what challenges we face. Always check in with yourself and recognize when you need to tap out for a bit. Enjoy this encore episode! Show Highlights: Interpreting your feelings during moments of stress Approaching new considerations as life changes Why life is hard in many ways Tips for feeling better: Remember that you are resilient. Getting help is NOT failure. Honor your exhaustion by taking a break and setting boundaries. Check in with your sleep, eating/hydration, hormones, and stress. Turn “What's wrong with me?” into “What's going on for me?” Take time to reflect and allow space just to BE.

Ever feel like you're crushing life… until life crushes you right back? You're meal-prepping, showing up for workouts, answering emails faster than ChatGPT, helping your kids survive college admissions, and wondering why you are running on fumes. You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're just burned the hell out. In this episode, I'm joined by Coach Ellen Schinke, burnout expert, high-achiever whisperer, and fellow recovering perfectionist, to break down what burnout really is (hint: it's not just being tired) and how to spot it before you're face down on the floor wondering if wine counts as a self-care strategy. We get into: The 4 types of burnout (yes, there's more than one!) Why your brain won't shut up at night (hello, overthinking) The sneaky ways you're numbing with "healthy" habits How to ditch the pressure for balance and aim for sustainable badassery What self-compassion actually looks like (spoiler: it's not bubble baths and mantras) Whether you're running on caffeine and cortisol or just feeling off lately, this conversation will give you the words, awareness, and tools to pull yourself out of burnout and back into your body. No guilt. No shame. Just real talk, real tools, and a reminder that doing less doesn't make you less.

Welcome to the DMF. Kerstin Schulze shares a powerful method to combat daily overwhelm that she learned from life coach Nina Bozic. Many people write too much down for their daily tasks, leading to feelings of being overwhelmed and ultimately halting their progress. Instead, she recommends a simple yet effective approach: at the end of each day, take a moment to reflect and write down everything you've accomplished, no matter how small. This could include everything from calling a friend to paying a bill or even working out. You might be surprised to find that you have at least 20 things to list!Once you've acknowledged your daily achievements, she suggests focusing on just three key tasks for the next day. This minimalist approach not only prevents overwhelm but also allows your subconscious mind to work on these tasks while you sleep. By doing this, you wake up feeling more focused and energized, ready to tackle your day with a positive mindset.Kerstin emphasizes that it's essential to maintain a positive state of mind, especially before sleep, as it influences your overall well-being. When you operate above a certain frequency, you reduce stress and cortisol levels, leading to better sleep and improved focus. Writing can be a form of meditation, allowing you to connect with the present moment and avoid distractions like social media.In this video, she also discusses the importance of using tools like AI to enhance your creativity rather than replace it. While AI can assist in various tasks, it cannot replicate the unique human experience and creativity that people bring to their work. Embracing technology as a tool can lead to greater success, but it's crucial to remember that individuality and experiences are irreplaceable.Kerstin also touches on her experiences in writing and directing, sharing insights on the creative process and the importance of collaboration. Whether someone is an actor, writer, or filmmaker, understanding the production process and being open to learning from others can significantly enhance their skills.She invites viewers to explore these concepts and discover tips on how to navigate the challenges of daily life while maintaining a positive and productive mindset.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Daily Task Management00:01:15 - The Power of Positivity and Meditation00:02:32 - The Role of AI in Creativity00:03:23 - The Uniqueness of the Human Mind00:04:28 - Discussion on Wine Night00:06:03 - The Value of Acting Classes00:06:38 - Discussion on Pet Peeves00:08:15 - Understanding Film Production00:10:21 - The Importance of Story Flow in Editing00:11:29 - Learning from Being On Set00:13:24 - ConclusionFor more insights into her work and programs, you can visit her website at ⁠⁠⁠⁠partyanddiet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ or follow her on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠⁠@partyanddiet⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In Episode 241 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy breaks down one of the biggest barriers to entrepreneurial success: inaction. Whether it's fear of failure, perfectionism, overwhelm, or the silent weight of self-doubt, too many incredible ideas never make it past the thinking phase.

Overwhelm shrinks when you take one small step – Big visions are built through daily, consistent, simple actions.5. Clarity comes from doing, not thinking – You don't need all the answers before you start — just the courage to take the first imperfect step.6. Confidence doesn't come first — courage does – Repeated action builds belief. Show up before you feel ready.7. Your comfort zone will cost you growth – Progress lives on the other side of discomfort. Lean into it.8. Success stacks through structure and systems – Calendars, habits, and focused priorities turn chaos into progress.9. Community accelerates growth – Surrounding yourself with other action-takers fuels momentum and removes isolation.10. Start messy. Start scared.

In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John Henny speaks to those who feel too overwhelmed to sing, reminding us that singing can be a form of self-care rather than another pressure. He offers simple, low-stress strategies to gently reconnect with your voice—even when motivation is low. Singing doesn't have to be perfect; it just has to bring you back to the present moment.   Episode highlights: Overwhelm isn't laziness—it's a real mental load that can block your singing. Reframe practice as self-care, not performance. Start small—just showing up for 60 seconds is enough to begin.   To learn more about John Henny, his best-selling books, on-line courses, Voiceschool.com featuring his Teaching Team of Experts, Speaker Training and the Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy, visit: JohnHenny.com

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. AJ (Amjed) Kadhim-Saleh, a dynamic family physician and entrepreneur from Toronto. Dr. AJ shares his inspiring journey from dreaming about building his own clinic during residency to actually opening the doors of his practice—starting with just a concrete slab and a vision of long-term sustainability in medicine. The conversation dives into the nuts and bolts of setting up a clinic from scratch, the importance of efficient systems, and the sometimes-overwhelming administrative burden that comes with being both a physician and practice owner. Dr. AJ openly discusses the challenges he faced with paperwork, how it began to impact his family life, and the pivotal moment that led him to co-found Pippin AI, an innovative AI scribe designed to support family doctors. Along the way, Dr. AJ and Dr. Smith explore the often overlooked business side of medical practice, the need for practical education in practice management, and how embracing change (with a little entrepreneurial grit and a supportive team) can help create a more sustainable clinical day—and a life outside of medicine. Whether you're a new resident thinking about your future, a physician looking for inspiration to build a more efficient practice, or just curious about how technology is shaping the future of primary care, this episode is packed with insights, practical tips, and plenty of encouragement to pursue your vision. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Build with Vision & Community: Starting a clinic from the ground up is about more than architectural plans—it's about designing systems, choosing supportive partners, and cultivating a team invested in sustainable change. Embrace Technology for Sustainability: Efficient tools—like secure patient portals and AI-powered documentation—can relieve the paperwork burden, free up precious hours, and allow us to focus on quality patient care (and our lives outside the clinic!). Change is a Team Sport: Successful practice transformation hinges on bringing your people along for the ride. Clearly communicate the “why” behind changes, tailor solutions to their needs, and foster an environment of ongoing collaboration and support. Meet Dr. AJ (Amjed) Kadhim-Saleh: Dr. Amjed Kadhim-Saleh (AJ for short) is a community family physician, clinic owner, and health technology entrepreneur in Toronto. AJ graduated medical school from the University of Ottawa, and completed his family medicine residency at the University of Toronto. Serving a diverse population of over 1700 patients, AJ is passionate about comprehensive family medicine and building efficient practice. AJ developed an AI-powered Physician Assistant called Pippen, which aims to alleviate administrative burden among physicians and encourage better doctor-patient interactions. AJ is also a Clinical Lecturer at the University of Toronto. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

If you're waking up tired, snapping at everyone by noon, forgetting basic things, or constantly overstimulated… it might not be your schedule, your supplements, or your mindset.It might be your nervous system.You're not just “off.”Your body is trying to tell you something.In this episode, we're unpacking what nervous system dysregulation actually is—and how it silently hijacks your focus, energy, mood, digestion, hormones, and more.If you've ever asked yourself: 

Healing begins when we stop pushing and start listening to what our body is trying to tell us.

In this episode, we're talking about the kind of support that actually helps us grow—not just feel good for a moment. When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to isolate or seek comfort in people who let us stay small. But what we really need in hard seasons are safe people who can hold space and reflect back the truth. We explore the difference between comfort and growth, why real support includes honesty, and how to recognize who's a strong mirror versus someone who just nods along.STAY TUNED FOR A NEW OFFER COMING SOON!Leave a podcast review: https://thisisnotyourpracticelifepodcast.com/Visit macierenae.com to learn more about Macie & her work!Interested in working with her?

Have you ever thought, “I used to be so good at this… what happened?” Whether it's been a few weeks or a few years, starting over in your health and fitness journey can feel overwhelming. But here's the truth: you're not starting from scratch—you're starting from experience. In this empowering episode of Simple Fitness Habits, Shaela walks you through 5 simple, grace-filled steps to get back on track with your fitness, nutrition, and mindset—without falling into hustle, shame, or the lie that you have to “do it all.” This is your Christian woman's guide to starting over with intention, strength, and Spirit-led strategy. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why 10–15 minutes of strength training is a better “restart” than forcing a full workout split. How adding one palm-sized serving of protein daily boosts strength, reduces cravings, and stabilizes energy. What NEAT (non-exercise activity) is—and how dancing, walking, or even tidying up can support long-term fat loss. The hydration mistake Christian women often make (and how electrolytes can fix it). The 3 smart supplements to focus on—and why “less is more” when it comes to health trends. Rooted in Scripture: This episode reminds us that God doesn't call us to hustle for perfection—He calls us to show up in faithful obedience. Through small, sustainable habits, we can honor the bodies He's given us, serve our families, and pursue our callings with energy and grace.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Two of the challenges we face today are the increasing complexity in our work life. Yet, that has been around forever. New technology requires us to learn new techniques for doing things and, perhaps, the biggest challenge of all is dealing with the speed at which things come at us.  Interestingly, the number of emails we get today is comparable to the number of letters people in the 1970s and 80s received. Yet the number of phone calls we get have dramatically dropped. That's largely due to the move towards instant messages—which were not around in the 70s and 80s.  The difference is the speed at which we are expected to respond. With a letter, there was some doubt about when the letter would arrive. It might arrive the next day, but there was always a chance it would take two or three days.  And when it did arrive, we had at least twenty four hours to respond. Today, there are some people who expect you to respond to an email immediately—no thought that you may be working on something else or in a meeting with an important customer.  So the question we should explore is how we can navigate the way we work today without letting people down, but at the same time work at a comfortable speed which minimises mistakes and leaves us feeling fulfilled at the end of the day.  So, with that stated, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Tom. Tom asks, Hi Carl, over the years, my productivity system has changed with technology. I began, like you, with a Franklin Planner in the 1990s, then I moved to Getting Things Done and managed everything digitally. These days, I am struggling to keep up, and it just seems so complicated. Do you have any thoughts on how to keep things simple? Hi Tom, thank you for your question.  One way to look at this is to remember that the basic principles of good time management and productivity will never change. Those principles are incorporated in COD—Collect, Organise and Do.  No matter how complicated or fast things get, we still need a way to collect stuff and trust that what we collect will be where we want it to be when we process it.  We need an organisation system that works for us. And that means, we can find what we need when we need it.  And finally, we want to be maximising the time we spend doing the work, so we avoid backlogs building.  It's within this framework we can evolve our systems.  Thirty years ago, we would have been collecting with pen and paper. Today, it's likely we will collect using our phones or computer. Thirty years ago we would have had stacks of file folders and a filing cabinet or two to store those folders. Today, those files will likely be held in the cloud—Google Drive, iCloud or OneDrive, for instance.  So while the tools have changed, the principles have not.  I'm a big rugby fan. I've been following Leeds Rhinos since my grandfather took me to my first game when I was five years old.  The teams that win the championships and cup games are the ones who get the basics right. In rugby, that is playing the majority of the game in the oppositions half. Being aggressive in defence and ensuring their players are disciplined—giving away silly penalties is one sure way to lose games.  The teams that lose are the ones who don't get these basics right. They try to be clever, get frustrated, and drop the ball (quite literally) and give away unnecessary penalties, which results in them giving away territory and playing the majority of the game in their own half.  The message is always the same. Get the basics right and the results will come.  This is the same for you, too, Tom. Get the basics right and that's following the principles of COD.  The problems will start when we begin trying to do multiple things at the same time. Multi-tasking is not a strategy. Sure there are some things you can do at the same time. Walking and thinking about solving a problem, listening to a podcast while doing the dishes or cleaning up the house.  But you are not going to be able to write a report, prepare a presentation and reply to your emails at the same time. These are very different types of work requiring different skills.  A report is well thought out words and conclusions. A presentation is a visual representation of your main points and writing emails is about communicating clearly in words. All requiring different parts of your brain.  This is why categorising the work you do works so well. With categorising, or chunking or batch processing—they all mean the same thing—you are grouping similar tasks together and doing them at the same time. For example, you can collect your actionable emails together and set aside thirty to sixty minutes each day for responding to them.  If you were consistent with that, you would always be on top of your mails and no one would be waiting much longer that 24 hours for a reply.  Similarly if you were responsible for sending out proposals to prospective customers, if you were to spend an hour or so on those each day, you would rarely have any backlogs and your proposals would be going out quickly without errors.  It's when we stop following these principles we become like the losing rugby teams. We've stopped following the game plan and become frustrated, which leads to mistakes which in turn means we lose the game.  Or in the world of work, we create backlogs, deadlines are missed and we feel horrible, stressed out and overwhelmed.  I've always found it fascinating to learn how productive people work. I saw recently an interview with Tim Cook, where he mentioned he wakes up at 4:00 am, and the first hour of his day is spent doing email.  I remember reading that Jack Dorsey, one of the founders of Twitter and the CEO of Square, who would schedule his days by category of work. Monday and Tuesdays were spend on marketing, Wednesdays were problem solving and Thursdays would be spent at Square and Fridays at Twitter.  They all have some structure to their days. Incidentally, this was the same for Winston Churchill and Charles Darwin. They both followed a strict structure to their days which ensured they spent time each day on the things that mattered.  While the way we work and the tools we use to do our work may change, the way we structure our days doesn't have to.  Twenty years ago, spending an hour on returning phone messages was the norm. Today, that same hour will likely be spent responding to Slack or Teams messages and email.  If you want to get control of your time and remain productive, it will be helpful to know what is important.  What is your core work? The work you are paid to do? What does that look like at a task level? Working in concepts doesn't work here. You need to go to the next level and determine what your work looks like at a task level.  An accountant will need to put numbers into a spreadsheet (or something similar) in order to get the information they need to be able to advise their clients. The question therefore becomes how much time do they need to do that each day to ensure they are on top of their work?  As a former Franklin Planner user, you will know the importance of daily and weekly planning. This is about knowing what is important today and this week. It's about allocating sufficient time to getting that work done and being strict about what you allow on your calendar.  Perhaps part of the problem we face today is the increasing demands on our time. It's easy to ask someone to jump on a Teams or Zoom call for “a few minutes” Ha! How often does five minutes turn into thirty minutes?  And because of the simplicity of doing these calls, we accept. Perhaps too readily.  I don't have Zoom or Teams on my phone. If I am not with my laptop, I cannot do a video call. It's a rule. And a non-negotiable one too.  Where are your rules? What will you accept and, more importantly, not accept?  One way you can manage this is to limit the number of meetings you have each day. If you spend seven hours of your eight hours of your work day in meetings, how will you find the time to do the work you are employed to do?  That isn't a task management issue. That's a time issue. It doesn't matter how many tasks you have to do today if you do not have the time protected for doing them. It's on you to protect that time and that doesn't matter where you are in the hierarchy chain.  If your boss expects you to be in seven hours of meetings each day and write reports, prepare presentations and respond to your emails and messages, that's an issue you need to take up with your boss. No tool or productivity system will sort that out for you.  Even with the help of AI, you will struggle to do your work with that kind of time conflict.  Now when it comes to managing your files and notes, I would say don't reinvent the wheel.  Several years ago, Microsoft and Apple's engineers released we were terrible at managing our documents. So, they began rolling out self contained folders for their professional tools such as Word and Keynote.  You no longer need to file these documents in folders you create. Instead you can save them and let your computer organise them for you. For example, if you use Word, all your word documents can be saved to the Word container folder in OneNote. Just like Google Docs. These are all kept together and you can then organise them in a variety of ways. You can do it alphabetically, the date the document was created or when it was last modified (great for when collaborating with other people). In iCloud and Google Drive, you can also organise by which documents are shared.  Your computer does the hard work so you don't have to. There's certainly no longer a need to create sophisticated file folder structures that take forever to keep organised. You don't have time for that. Let your computer do the work for you.  And not only have these companies made organising our work easier, they have been gradually improving search features too. Now as long as you know a date range, a keyword or a title, you'll be able to find any document in seconds.  There is no longer any need to manually organise your documents. The only responsibility you have is to ensure the names of the documents you have saved mean something to you. If you're downloading a document, make sure you rename it. There's some very strange file naming conventions out there.  And that's about it, Tom.  Stick to the basics of COD—Collect, Organise, Do. Be strict about what you allow on your calendar (even if that means you need to an uncomfortable talk with your boss) and let your computer do the hard work of filing for you.  I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question.  And thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to with you all a very very productive week.   

Spring finally feels like it has arrived!We have moved away from the mucky middle and broken through to the wonderful spring season we have been waiting for.Only, now, many of us find ourselves trying to hurry spring along to summer.Spring naturally brings energy.In Ayurveda - and nature itself - spring is a time of renewal and growth.We go from the heavy, inward energy of winter to a bursting outward “do more, move more” energy.That's beautiful … but it can also be overwhelming.This time of year, I often hear my clients say: “I am way behind this year … I feel like I have to catch up … There's so much to do, and I don't know where to start.”So, why are we feeling hurried or rushed? Where are we going? Where else do we need to be other than right here in this present moment?There is a benefit to each stage (and season) that we go through in every aspect of our lifeToday, on Episode #152 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, I'm sharing my top 5 simple ways to stay mindful in the spring rush.Start with your breathDo one thing at a timeUse nature as a reminder to slow downSet realistic spring expectations (and lower your expectations)Bookend your day with gratitude and calmInstead of rushing spring, try being in the moment of spring.

We've been making some big decisions this week. Juggling so many things, it's been so important to step back and consider the best way to move forward. Often times it's so easy to get wrapped up in the chaos, and not realize that fatigue and burnout has taken over. As parents and professionals we can spread ourselves too thin, and not realize we're giving 5% of ourselves to 100 things instead of focusing on doing a few things amazingly well. We think it's important for everyone to read those signs, and take a break when self care and time to refocus is needed. Rearranging thoughts, and taking time consider next steps is a much needed step. We love you all, and appreciate your support so much!https://www.happystronghealthyrd.com/ https://find-foodfreedom.com/Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comWhat The Actual Fork's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whattheactualforkpod/Sammy Previte's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/find.food.freedom/Jenna Werner's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/happystronghealthy.rd/

You're not lazy. You're overloaded. And no, another productivity hack won't save you. In this episode, I talk about how minimalism isn't about white walls and hidden kitchen bins—it's about your calendar, your relationships, your identity. I unpack the joy of missing out using stories from travel, creative burnout, and watching a guy walk around Britain with nothing but a backpack. Turns out, when you're doing too much, you're not living—you're buffering. We explore how having too many goals is like trying to break a window with a handful of dust. Want more focus? You have to do less. Three things you'll learn: Why doing less actually makes you better at what matters How owning less clears mental space (not just your room) A question to instantly identify what's worth saying “no” to Want your brain back?
