A Prayer for the Overwhelmed Heart by Jennifer Watson There is a kind of exhaustion that goes deeper than physical tiredness—the quiet, heavy weariness that many mothers carry every day. In this episode, we pause to acknowledge the unseen weight of constant responsibility and the pressure to be everything for everyone. In today's episode, we are reminded that Jesus reminds us that rest is not a reward for finishing all our tasks; it is a requirement for our souls. As we reflect on His example of withdrawing to quiet places, we’re reminded that God does not measure our worth by productivity. He delights in our presence more than our performance. Reference: Matthew 11:28 Prayer: Father, You see the mother whose hands are full and whose heart feels heavy. Thank You for being near when we’re weary and stretched beyond what we can manage. Forgive us for the times we’ve tried to be everything to everyone instead of coming first to You. Teach us to slow down without guilt, to rest without apology, and to love from a heart that’s been filled by Your presence. Lord, help us remember that we are not the savior of our homes—You are. Give us courage to say no when we need to, and wisdom to know when to step back and breathe. Restore our joy in the small, ordinary moments and remind us that peace isn’t found in perfection but in Your presence. Anchor our hearts in Your rest today. Amen.

Being a solo creator looks freeing on the outside, but behind the scenes it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. In this episode of Call Her Creator, I'm pulling back the curtain on the parts of creator life no one talks about: burnout before it happens, decision fatigue, working alone for hours on end, and the pressure of being the only one responsible for everything. If you've ever felt tired but unable to slow down, unmotivated but still showing up, or lonely while building something you love, this episode is for you. I walk you through: How I manage my time when everything feels urgent The systems and routines that help me avoid burnout as a solo creator How to reduce decision fatigue so you're not mentally drained by noon What to do when isolation starts creeping in How to protect your work-life balance without sacrificing your goals This isn't a hustle-hard episode. It's an honest conversation about sustainability, boundaries, and building a creator business that supports your life instead of consuming it. You don't need to do this alone, and you don't need to burn yourself out to succeed. Listen in if you're ready to work smarter, protect your energy, and keep showing up without losing yourself in the process.

Overwhelmed by all there is to do at home? If you feel like you're failing at managing your home, ask yourself this first: what standard are you judging yourself against?For many homemakers, discouragement doesn't come from real life. It comes from comparing their homes to idealized images on Instagram and YouTube. Soft music. White farmhouses. Perfect routines. No interruptions. No mess. No real work.That picture is not the goal—and it was never meant to be.In this video, I explain how perfectionism sabotages your attempts to get organized and why so many systems fail before they even begin. The problem isn't your effort or your desire to be responsible. The problem is trying to live up to a false standard that doesn't match real family life.You'll learn• how perfectionism hides behind “high standards” and good intentions• why planning and organizing often turn into avoidance• how perfectionism creates the boom-and-bust cycle• why baby steps are the only way out of overwhelm• how 10 minutes of real action beats perfect plans every timeReal progress in homemaking comes through steady, incremental improvement—not flawless execution or aesthetic ideals.If you want help getting started, I have a free Smile & Start Challenge that delivers three simple baby steps by email over three days.

Overwhelm isn't caused by how much you have to do. It's caused by perfectionism.If you constantly feel behind, discouraged, or frozen when you look at your home, this video explains why. The problem isn't your schedule, your kids, or your to-do list. It's the unrealistic standards you're measuring your real life against.In this video, I explain• why a full life is not the same thing as an overwhelming life• how perfectionism creates paralysis, procrastination, and burnout• why planning and organizing often make overwhelm worse• how perfectionism fuels the boom and bust cycle so many moms experienceOnce you can identify perfectionism at work, you can start undoing it.If you want a simple way to begin letting go of perfectionism, I'll send you my free Smile & Start Challenge by email. You'll get three short, practical emails that help you take small steps instead of chasing perfect plans.

Most overwhelmed moms keep looking for the perfect planner, the right app, or a better routine. But deep down, you already know that no external system is going to fix overwhelm.The problem isn't your tools. The problem is in your thinking.In this final episode of the series Why Perfectionism Makes Homemaking Feel Overwhelming, we get straight to the real solution: support, community, and mindset change. Perfectionism grows in isolation. It loosens its grip when you stop trying to manage everything alone.In this video, you'll learn• why perfectionism thrives when you're isolated with your thoughts• how community resets unrealistic expectations• why sharing small wins matters more than waiting for big results• how accountability builds follow-through without pressure• three practical ways to practice repent, rejoice, repeatHomemaking is real work. It takes attention, effort, and wisdom. It's not something to be embarrassed about or hidden. It's worth talking about, sharing strategies for, and growing in together.That's why I created Convivial Circle—a community for women who want to practice cheerful, faithful stewardship at home without chasing perfection or pretending the work is effortless.Inside Convivial Circle, we• confront perfectionism together• practice baby-step progress• build routines that fit real families• develop accountability through small standup groups• grow in skill, confidence, and joyful responsibilityIf you're tired of trying to fix overwhelm on your own, this is your invitation to stop isolating and start building momentum with support.

Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET talk about one of the most common concerns they hear from parents: “My learner doesn't want extra work.” In this episode, they explore what's really behind learner resistance and how to tell when a learner is truly ready for support. They share how resistance is often a form of self-protection, not defiance. Rachel and Steph break down practical ways to build readiness through trust, curiosity, and small wins—so support feels empowered instead of overwhelmed.

The start of a new year often comes with pressure to fix everything at once—set bigger goals, do more, become someone new. For many entrepreneurs, that pressure doesn't create motivation; it creates shutdown. Especially when you're already carrying mental load, emotional fatigue, or burnout, productivity advice rooted in force and discipline can feel deeply unsupportive.In this episode, Aimee offers a gentler approach to productivity - one rooted in clarity, capacity, and nervous-system safety. She shares a simple but powerful principle for reducing mental overwhelm by getting out of your head and into a system that actually supports you. This isn't about planning your entire year or forcing consistency—it's about creating enough internal space to breathe, think clearly, and take the next grounded step.This conversation is for heart-centered entrepreneurs who feel behind before they even begin, who know what to do but feel too overwhelmed to follow through. You'll walk away with a calmer perspective on productivity, a practical way to release mental pressure, and permission to approach the new year (or any season) without urgency, shame, or self-fixing.Money Mindset Playbook: https://aimeecerka.com/mindset For the full transcript and all links mentioned, see the blog post: https://aimeecerka.com/238 Ready To Take Action: https://aimeecerka.com/podcastlinks

This month's episode is a little different. I'm sharing a conversation where I was interviewed by Tara Findlay on the Perimenopause Whisperer Podcast.I wanted to bring it here because it speaks directly to a theme I see again and again in my work with women growing a business. There comes a point when the strategies that once worked stop working.When pushing harder doesn't bring clarity, and thinking your way forward only creates more confusion. Often, this season shows up in midlife, during perimenopause, or after years of holding it all together.Tara and I talk about nervous system regulation, burnout, self-trust, and the shift from living in your head to listening to your body. We explore how clarity doesn't come from more information, but from creating the space to actually hear yourself again.In this episode, we explore:Why having the “right strategy” doesn't work when your nervous system is overwhelmedHow burnout can exist even when life looks successful on the outsideThe connection between perimenopause, midlife, and the need to slow downWhy intuition gets quieter when we're constantly rushing or overthinkingHow breath, movement, and somatic practices unlock clarity the mind can't accessThe fear many women carry around being seen, using their voice, or choosing themselvesWhy rest is not a weakness and actually a power move.We also talk about letting go of hustle as the default, learning to trust yourself again after years of outsourcing answers, and making meaningful change without overwhelming yourself.✨FREE JANUARY CLASS INVITATION:The Woo & The Do: How to go from a swirl of ideas to a clear 90-day plan you'll actually follow.In this free 75-minute experience, I'll guide you out of overthinking and into your body… where real clarity lives. From there, we'll turn that clarity into a simple, courageous plan for the next 90 days.Together, we'll use gentle movement, breathwork, reflection, and visualization to reconnect you with your core vision, regulate the nervous system, and create a clear, supportive 90-day action plan that actually feels doable.Wednesday, January 14th at 10am PST | 1pm EST Replay will be sent if you can't attend live.

One of the dangers of telling the Christmas story (or Easter, or how your grandparents walked from home to school uphill both ways...) as often as we do is that the stunning, mind-blowing aspects of God becoming human - and all that that means - can become ordinary and unremarkable. In this message we ask John in his prologue (John 1:1-14) and Paul in his use of an ancient Christian hymn (Phil 2:5-11) to help refresh our wonder. To investigate this most important of stories further, go here.

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I didn't fully realize was impacting me — and maybe it's impacting you too. If you've been feeling irritated, overwhelmed, scattered, or like you know what to do but just can't seem to follow through, this episode will shift something major for you. We're talking about constant input — the slow, invisible overload that comes from podcasts, YouTube, group chats, Audible, social media… even the "positive" stuff like inspiration and education. Because here's the truth: You're not unmotivated. You're overloaded. And the more you consume, the harder it becomes to follow through. We break down: Why information overload kills your clarity and consistency How this input creep drains not just your time, but your emotional energy Why follow-through feels harder than ever (and what to do about it) And how to create more space for peace, progress, and presence in your life This isn't about deleting your apps or doing a digital detox. It's about reclaiming your focus — so you can actually act on what you already know.

Hey friend!!! Ever feel like adulting is just so hard? It's stressful deciding on priorities, trying to be productive, managing money, and also getting enough sleep! Idk, I've just been feeling that lately, and I know in college a lot of people feel that way — especially when you're broke or trying to figure out how to pay for school without going into debt. So today, I want to cut down on that loooooong list, and help you be more effective and efficient when applying for scholarships!

This episode is a pause. A moment to acknowledge the collective heaviness so many people are carrying—and the quiet exhaustion that comes from trying to keep up in a world that rarely slows down. So many people are asking why everything feels overwhelming, even when nothing is “wrong.” In this conversation, we name what it feels like to live under constant demand, why overwhelm doesn't mean you're weak, and how simply telling the truth about what we're experiencing can be more healing than trying to push through it. Feeling overwhelmed doesn't mean something is wrong with you. Often, it means you're responding honestly to a demanding world. No fixing. No forcing. Just truth, compassion, and space to breathe. Hey! Thanks for listening!

This week's episode is a gentle holiday pep talk for anyone feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or carrying a little extra weight this Christmas season. If the pressure feels heavy and peace feels hard to come by, this episode is a soft reminder to slow down, protect your heart, and release what doesn't matter. No fixing, no forcing—just encouragement, deep breaths, and a few simple truths to help you find calm in the middle of the holiday chaos.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Hannah Wells and Sarah Smith, the practitioners behind The Mending—a virtual wellness collaborative focused on root-cause, personalized healing. Both Hannah and Sarah share their deeply personal stories of navigating years of diagnoses, symptoms, and frustration within both holistic and allopathic medicine. Their journeys led them to a quieter, more discerning approach to wellness—one rooted in listening to the body, integrating science and soul, and resisting the pressure to chase every trending protocol. If you've felt overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsure where to begin in your health choices, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a grounded path forward.Work with The Mending CollaborativeConnect with Hannah + Sarah on Instagram

What if the reason you haven't started writing your novel has nothing to do with how much you know?“I'm not ready yet” is one of the most common things I hear from writers. And on the surface, it makes sense. You want to feel prepared before starting something as big as writing a novel.But not feeling ready usually has very little to do with knowledge. More often, the root cause is a lack of clarity. In this bonus episode, I'm sharing stories from three writers who spent months, and even years, stuck at the starting line because they didn't know how to move from idea to writing. You'll hear about Tiara, who loved writing short stories but froze when she tried to write a novel. Jennifer, who dreamed about her YA fantasy for years but felt she needed more credentials before she could begin. And Sheila, a doctor and teacher who had read the books, taken the courses, and still couldn't put it all together.None of them suddenly became more qualified. What changed was their process.In this episode, you'll learn:[04:00] How a short story writer overcame her fear of full-length novel projects by shifting her mindset around perfectionism and learning to trust a step-by-step approach.[06:15] Why one aspiring author spent years frozen at chapter one and how a simple scene-by-scene roadmap helped her go from stuck to a complete first draft in just 90 days.[08:30] How one writer learned to use genre to map out her story's key scenes—and why this finally made everything click for her after bouncing between over-planning and under-planning for years.If you've been telling yourself you're not ready, this episode will help you rethink that.And if you want a clear, step-by-step path to help you finally start and finish your novel, you can get on the waitlist for the next round of Notes to Novel. Doors open January 22.Your story doesn't need more prep work. It needs one clear direction. And I'll help you do that.

If you've ever looked around your house, your calendar, or your marriage and thought, Why is this so hard for me?—this conversation is for you. In this episode, Ginny Yurich talks with licensed therapist and Struggle Care founder KC Davis about why overwhelm isn't a character flaw, a lack of discipline, or a sign you're doing life wrong. KC names the invisible mental load of daily living—meals, laundry, cleaning, caregiving, relationships—and explains why these repetitive responsibilities were never meant to be proof of your worth. Together, Ginny and KC explore practical, compassionate ways to lower that load without adding shame. From reframing household work as morally neutral, to letting go of “just clean as you go,” to rethinking fairness in marriages and families, this episode offers language and tools that actually help. KC shares gentle strategies for building momentum when you're stuck, wisdom for dividing labor and rest more honestly, and a powerful reminder that community is built through realness and not perfection. This is an episode to save, share, and return to when you need permission to stop measuring your life by impossible standards.

This year, he joins us to break down the newest Hallmark Christmas movie, A Suite Holiday Romance.ABOUT A SUITE HOLIDAY ROMANCEWriter Sabrina stays at a luxury hotel to ghostwrite a memoir. She meets Ian at the bar and lets him think she's wealthy. He's actually a secretary posing as nobility while managing a royal jewels exhibit.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A SUITE HOLIDAY ROMANCEDecember 13 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF A SUITE HOLIDAY ROMANCEJessy Schram as SabrinaDominic Sherwood as IanBRAN'S A SUITE HOLIDAY ROMANCE SYNOPSISWe learn about the Cordelia books by Hazel Holly, a beloved series that has been read by many and adored by all. We meet Sabrina, a writer who penned a glowing piece about the books. As a result, she's chosen to ghostwrite a memoir and is put up at the Grand Fairbanks Hotel in the legendary Cordelia Suite — a very big deal.She meets Grayson Westcott, the man who hired her. She'll be interviewing him about his life as an art broker and writing his memoir, but she only has until Christmas Eve to gather everything she needs.One night, while working late, Sabrina craves a sandwich. She calls down to the bar, runs in, and starts eating the first sandwich she sees — which turns out to belong to Ian, who's sitting nearby. He doesn't mind at all and clearly wants to keep talking, but the bar is closing. Maybe another time.The next day, Sabrina continues interviewing Grayson and learns that he was once Hazel Holly's butler at this very hotel. He's hesitant to talk about that part of his life, but when he opens up, she's completely captivated.Later, she runs into Ian again and they grab coffee. He tells her he works for a charity and that it's his first time in the city. What Sabrina doesn't know is that he actually works for the royal family — something he's keeping very quiet. After overhearing a conversation at dinner, she mistakenly assumes he is royalty. Could he be Lord Braxton? She keeps her suspicions to herself as they continue spending time together and sparks fly.Ian suddenly has to leave town to make sure Lord Braxton doesn't marry a woman he just met. They reunite at the Christmas ball, where they dance and share a magical evening — until Ian notices Lord Braxton leaving early and has to follow him. He does return for a kiss first, though. Sabrina is both smitten and increasingly frustrated by how Ian disappears without warning.For various reasons, Sabrina never quite asks him outright if he's Lord Braxton, and Ian never tells her that he works for the royal family. When she joins him at a charity event, she's having a great time — until she spots a jewelry box in his bag. Lord Braxton is known for proposing quickly… is Ian about to propose to her?During a dinner date, Sabrina finally admits she thinks he's Lord Braxton — but before Ian can explain, he's called away again. After hearing more of Grayson's story, Sabrina decides to end things before Ian can break her heart. Grayson is baffled and basically says, “How on earth did you get that from my story?!”Sabrina attends a gala and finally learns the truth: Ian is not Lord Braxton. Overwhelmed, she storms out. After more conversations with Grayson, he encourages her to rethink everything.Speaking of Grayson, Sabrina reunites him with his long-lost love, Charlotte — who is Lady Braxton. Grayson insists he's too old for love, but Sabrina shuts that down immediately. They rush to see each other, and it's beautiful.Sabrina races to find Ian, but she's told he's already left for the airport — except he hasn't. He stayed because he's fallen for her. He gives her the jewelry box, revealing not an engagement ring, but a snowflake necklace. They talk things through, make up, and he tells her he's moving to the States to expand the charity. They kiss — big ones.The movie ends with Grayson and Lady Braxton getting married. At their wedding, we see that Ian and Sabrina are engaged.She talks with Grayson more and he encoruages her to think about things a bit more. Speaking of Grayson, she ends up finding Grayson his long lost love charlotte. she's lady braxton. he's like oh i know that, but i'm too old for this ish. She's like NO!

In this episode, author, podcaster, and speaker Mary DeMuth returns to share the inspiration behind her latest work, which spotlights overwhelmed women in the Bible—women whose stories have often been minimized or overlooked. From Mary the mother of Jesus to Hagar to the widow with two mites, these women model faith, resilience, and wholehearted trust in God. We talk about how Christmas can be both beautiful and heavy. Mary opens up about her own seasons of overwhelm, from her water breaking on Christmas Eve to sleeping in a barn the week before Christmas. She reminds us that Mary, the mother of Jesus, lived through the deepest fears a mother can face, yet she remained faithful as a disciple. Here is some of what we cover:  Why Christmas often heightens grief, trauma, and unmet longings The consumerism of the holiday season vs. the simplicity of God with us What Shalom really means: wholehearted, whole-bodied peace rooted in surrender Jesus' care for the overlooked, the aging, and the marginalized The definition of “Whelm” which  refers to out-of-control stress,  “overwhelmed” is that same stress amplified beyond capacity Connect with Mary DeMuth:  Instagram: Mary DeMuth // Healing from Trauma (@marydemuth) Facebook:  Mary DeMuth Website:  Mary DeMuth Links Mentioned:   Nobody's Mother: By Sandra Glahn 90-Day Bible Reading Challenge: By Mary DeMuth Most Misunderstood Women of the Bible: By Mary DeMuth The Most Overlooked Women of the Bible: By Mary DeMuth The Most Overwhelmed Women of the Bible: By Mary DeMuth Podcast - Pray Every Day Mary DeMuth Church Hurt Checklist Related Episodes: Building the Family You Never Had :: Mary DeMuth [Ep 156] Nobody's Mother :: Dr. Sandra Glahn [Ep 443] From Overwhelmed to Anchored: Replacing the Lies of Motherhood with God's Truth :: Erica Gwynn [Ep 544] Featured Sponsors:  Green Chef: Go to Greenchef.com/ALONEGRAZA use the code ALONEGRAZA to get started with 50% off Green Chef + FREE Graza Olive Oil Set in your 2nd and 3rd boxes.
