Podcasts about Overwhelmed

If you've ever found yourself wide awake at night replaying a conversation If you spiral through guilt after setting even the gentlest boundary If you carry everyone else's emotions while losing sight of your own You're in good company. In today's episode, Dr. Alison shares personally about these moments in her own life and guides you through a real-time practice you can do right where you are. It's the most effective tool we've found to help when overwhelm rises, when you're tempted to slip back into people-pleasing, or when conflict sends your nervous system into overdrive. Instead of overthinking, overanalyzing, or pushing your feelings aside, this practice helps you: Notice what's happening inside with kindness Connect with the part of you that's working overtime to keep you safe Offer compassion to your own soul — the same compassion you extend so easily to others Invite God's loving, steady presence into the places that feel tangled, tense, or afraid

Grown skeptical of “religion” but still hungry for truth? In this episode, I share how I went from questioning everything I believed — to discovering that reason and faith aren't enemies after all. This isn't about blind belief; it's about following evidence, wrestling with doubts, and finding something solid enough to build a life on. You'll hear: • Why I decided to “fact-check” my faith during college • What logic, history, and honest searching actually revealed • The surprising peace that came when I stopped running from the questions If you've ever felt torn between faith and intellect, this one's for you. #FaithAndReason #ChristianApologetics #Testimony #CollegeFaith #SeekingTruth Have you wrestled with your faith?

Stressed because it's so expensive? Are you having trouble finding scholarships, or all you find don't apply to you? Overwhelmed with all things school and money? Welcome fam! This podcast will help you find and get scholarships, avoid student loans and maybe even graduate college debt-free! Hey! I'm Kara, a Christian entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, and scholarship BEAST! I figured out how to not only finish college debt-free, but I even had $10k left over in the bank after graduation. (& btw, my parents weren't able to help me financially either!) During school, I was worried about paying for next semester. I couldn't find scholarships that worked specifically for me, and didn't know how to get started while juggling homework and keeping up with ALL.THE.THINGS. But dude, I learned there was a better way! With God's direction, I tested out of classes, and found the perfect scholarships, grants, internships, and weird budget hacks that helped me go from overwhelmed to debt-free with $10k in the bank–all with God on my side. ... and I'm here to walk you through this, too. If you are ready to find scholarships specific to you, learn to manage your money well, and have enough money to kill it at college, this pod is for you! So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you've ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace.

Ever look at your to-do list and think, 'Cool, I'll just clone myself and maybe then I'll get it all done'? Yeah. Same. But here's the truth — overwhelm isn't a sign you're doing too little. It's a sign you're doing too much of the wrong stuff. Let's fix that. Feeling buried under your to-do list? You're not alone — but you don't have to live there. In this high-impact episode, April breaks down five simple, tactical moves that shift you from chaos to clarity. Whether you're running a business, leading a team, or juggling it all, this episode will help you reclaim control, eliminate noise, and focus on what actually matters. Because you don't need more time — you need fewer distractions disguised as priorities. Key Takeaways 1️⃣ The 4-Step PivotMe Process Ask: Does this need to be done? Does it need to be done by me? If not, delegate, delay, or delete. Then check for OPP (Other People's Priorities), pick your one move that moves the needle, and execute with focus. 2️⃣ The Eisenhower Matrix Separate urgent from important: Urgent + important → Do now. Important + not urgent → Schedule. Urgent + not important → Delegate. Neither → Delete. 3️⃣ The 10X Filter Ask: "If I were operating at my 10X goal, would I be doing this?" Your next level requires next-level decisions. 4️⃣ The Pivot Pause Step away, breathe, and ask, "What actually needs to happen next?" Stillness creates clarity. 5️⃣ Time Blocking with Themes Batch your focus. Example: Monday: Strategy Tuesday: Clients Wednesday: Content Thursday: Networking Friday: Financials Context-switching drains energy — batching restores it. Bonus: Write your Stop-Doing List. Subtraction equals freedom.  Quotes "Not every fire deserves your water." "You win the day by finishing, not by juggling." "You can't 10X your life doing the same things you did at 2X." "Stillness creates clarity — not chaos."  Action Steps ✅ Run your to-do list through the 4-Step PivotMe Filter. ✅ Create your own Eisenhower Matrix and start deleting what doesn't matter. ✅ Ask the 10X question before saying yes. ✅ Schedule your Pivot Pause — don't wait for burnout to do it. ✅ Build a Time-Blocked Week that aligns with your future self. When you're overwhelmed, stop reacting and start pivoting. You don't need more caffeine — you need more clarity. One focus, one day, one pivot at a time.

Iran's Multi-Faceted Crises: Water Scarcity, Pollution, and Transnational Repression Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discussed the multi-faceted crises plaguing Iran, reflecting poor management and ecological decline, with Tehran overwhelmed by severe water scarcity as dams dry up and crippling air pollution with CO2 levels 10 times the WHO standard, while the water crisis is worsened by the regime, especially IRGC-affiliated contractors, who prioritize their support base through unregulated mega-projects, leading to rivers and lakes drying up, a deliberate deprivation of clean water that constitutes a human rights violation, as environmental disasters have driven widespread internal migration into Tehran, taxing infrastructure and leading to issues like land subsidence, with the population considered "prime for unrest," while separately, Iran continues its policy of transnational repression, highlighted by the recent foiled plot to assassinate Israel's ambassador in Mexico, as Iran targets both Israeli/American officials and relies on criminal networks to repress Iranian dissidents abroad, while consistently holding American dual citizens hostage as political leverage. 1896 TEHRAN

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, “I did everything I was supposed to do. I hustled. I achieved. I built the life I wanted… so why do I feel so disconnected from myself?” If that hit a little too close, this episode is the one your soul's been waiting for. Because today, we're unpacking the silent identity crisis that so many high-achieving women face when hustle culture, adulthood, partnership, womanhood, and purpose all collide at the same time. And if you've been feeling stretched thin, burnt out, or unsure of who you are outside of the roles you fill-girl, you are not alone. Today we into the identity shifts that happen when your life evolves faster than your sense of self can keep up. Using insights sparked by Ayesha Curry's recent conversation about losing herself in marriage and motherhood. We break down: Why high achievers struggle silently with identity loss How hustle culture and expectation force women into roles they never truly chose Why so many women feel guilty for wanting individuality outside of marriage or motherhood The emotional conflict between gratitude, ambition, and burnout The truth about evolving in your late 20s + early 30s How to rebuild yourself after transitions like marriage, motherhood, or career shifts Practical self-care tools to reconnect with the woman you're becoming Why your identity isn't disappearing—it's EVOLVING This episode is the reminder every high-achieving woman needs:Evolution isn't betrayal. It's becoming. Low-key burnt out Stuck between who you were and who you're becoming Guilty for wanting more than the roles you play Disconnected from your own dreams and identity Overwhelmed by being “the strong one,” “the dependable one,” “the glue” Then this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Identity is not fixed—it's fluid. Women are conditioned to add roles, not identities. High achievers often shrink to avoid disappointing others. Gratitude and desire can coexist. Hustle culture adds pressure—but self-care is the antidote. You're allowed to outgrow older versions of yourself. Rebuilding yourself requires quiet, intention, and honesty. Try these if you're navigating an identity shift: Journal Prompts: “What part of me has been asking for attention?” “What would I choose if guilt wasn't in the room?” “What version of me am I ready to return to?” This episode is sponsored by Huel — the go-to fuel source for the ambitious girlies who want to eat well, stay energized, and NOT burn out.

The Trump administration is looking to hire thousands of federal law enforcement personnel as part of expanded immigration enforcement efforts. But the courts handling these cases aren't seeing the same surge in resources. Several immigration judges recently fired by the Justice Department say the court system is losing staff and it's unable to address a multi million case backlog.

Some days the weight of the world feels unbearable. In our daily prayer and devotional, we reflect on the fact that news headlines, personal stories, or even a single conversation can open our eyes to suffering so deep that it feels paralyzing. For Sophia Bricker, reading a student’s research paper on women in refugee camps brought her face-to-face with heartbreaking realities—women fleeing violence, grieving losses, and enduring ongoing trauma. She sat stunned, wondering how the world could stay so still when so much was broken. Scripture reminds us that believers have felt this kind of anguish before. Jeremiah—the “weeping prophet”—saw devastation firsthand as Jerusalem fell in ruins. Lamentations is filled with his raw grief, yet even in the midst of sorrow, he anchored his soul in hope. He remembered God’s steadfast love and compassion, the only reason His people were not consumed. That same hope is ours today. While the suffering around us may feel overwhelming, God sees it all. He grieves with us. And He has already provided the ultimate answer to the world’s pain—Jesus Christ, who conquered sin and death, and who will one day wipe away every tear. Even when we don’t know how to help or what to do, we can pray. We can lament. And we can ask God to show us where He is already at work so we can participate in bringing His love, justice, and compassion into dark places. Today's Bible Reading:“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail” (Lamentations 3:22, NIV). Takeaway Truths God sees every injustice and every sorrow—nothing is hidden from Him. Lament is a biblical response to suffering and a pathway to deeper hope. Christ’s victory assures us that suffering will not have the final word. Let’s Pray Great God of all, You see all the brokenness in the world and know better than I do the evil that exists in the hearts of humankind. At times, I am overwhelmed by the stories of suffering I encounter. There is so much sorrow—people who go hungry, children without parents, families torn apart by war and violence, individuals struggling in poverty and slavery, and beloved daughters that You created who are exploited and assaulted. My heart breaks as I think of their lives and the hopelessness that marks their days. Lord, I know Your heart breaks for them too, and so I am asking You to be with them. Show them Your love and grace, providing comfort in their suffering. Please also guide me on how I can help, even in my small, limited role in the world. May I be a part of the work You are already doing to bring good news to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have you ever hit a moment in motherhood where your whole body says, “I can't do this… it's all too much,” but you still have to keep going?I had one of those moments recently — and what happened in the middle of it honestly surprised me.In this short, heartfelt episode, I share a real story from our life this month: a night when my son's joyful but piercing shrieks sent my nervous system into complete overload. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and honestly on the verge of tears. And right there in that moment, something unexpected came out of my mouth that shifted what was happening inside my heart and body.You'll hear:the simple physiological reason this small practice calms anxietywhat Scripture says about why this response leads to peacehow it pulled my mind out of overload during a moment I thought I'd breakand a tiny way you can use it anytime everything feels like too muchIf your days feel full, your brain feels stretched thin, and motherhood has been heavy lately, this episode will help you find a moment of calm — right in the middle of the chaos.

In this episode, CEO coach Gene Hammett explores what it truly means to Be Intentional as a Leader, encouraging listeners to examine their leadership style and uncover the barriers limiting their growth. Drawing from his recent keynote at the Association of Animal Welfare Advancement, he introduces a clear two-part framework for elevating leadership, recognizing current hindrances, and defining the aspirational traits that drive stronger performance. Gene emphasizes the power of proactive, self-aware leadership in building engaged, high-performing teams and shares practical tools and resources to support deeper self-discovery and more effective, intentional leadership. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 2:04 The Importance of Self-Reflection 5:44 Defining Your Leadership Identity 6:59 Evolving as a Leader 8:17 The Power of Intentionality 9:40 Strategies for Effective Leadership Identify who you're being that limits your leadership. Most leaders fall into the same cycle: open the laptop, answer emails, run spreadsheets, jump into meetings, put out fires… and repeat. I've been there, and maybe you're stuck in that same loop, working hard, but not necessarily leading intentionally. So pause for a moment and ask yourself: What would it take for me to be a better leader? And even more importantly, why do I want to be a better leader? Is your team performing below its potential? Do decisions keep landing back on your plate? Are you feeling overwhelmed or burned out? If so, this episode is for you. Recently, I spoke at the Association of Animal Welfare Advancement here in Atlanta. Their leaders were deeply committed to growing, and during that keynote, I shared one core idea: the power of intention in leadership. Here's a portion of that talk: "When you want to be a great leader, it doesn't happen by accident; it requires intention. You need the ability to shift with what's in front of you. Defining the leader you want to become may seem trivial or unnecessary, but it is foundational. Who are you being that gets in the way of being a better leader? And who do you want to become in the next level of yourself? You must be honest with yourself and claim the leader you're becoming." Are you scattered? Distracted? Overwhelmed? Too nice? Too empathetic? Too direct? These traits may not seem harmful, but when they're dialed too high, they create friction. Write them down on a 3×5 or 4×6 card, make it honest, uncomfortable, and real. This clarity helps you move away from what no longer serves your leadership. Define who you want to become. One of my clients captured this beautifully: Be decisive. Be focused. Be confident. Each week during our coaching sessions, we review how these traits showed up. This repetition creates accountability and reinforces their development. This is the work of intentional leadership, continuously evolving and expanding your capacity. Whether you're a CEO, founder, or senior leader, complacency kills performance. Growth requires reinvention. If you're new here, I'm Gene Hammett, CEO, coach, founder, and leadership development expert. We help executives and leadership teams create environments where people perform at their best, take ownership, and feel aligned with the mission. If you want to explore these ideas further without committing to a call, join my free training at training.corelevation.com. In about 90 minutes, we cover core principles, common mistakes, and the five steps to becoming a stronger, more intentional leader. To close today's episode, remember this: Being intentional is a superpower. Reactive leadership limits performance. A simple example comes from sales: smile before you dial. People can sense your energy even without seeing you. That's the intention at work. Imagine showing up 90–95% of the time as the leader you want to be decisive, focused, confident… or whatever traits matter most to you. One of my favorite examples from a client is the phrase: unshakably confident. Picture that being you. It's possible if you choose to lead with intention. If I can support you in any way, keep following our content, keep stepping up, and remember: when you think of growth and leadership, think of Growth Think Tank. Key Takeaways Great leadership never happens by accident it requires intention. Break the reactive work cycle by pausing to reflect on why you want to grow. Part 1: Define who you're being today that limits your leadership. Part 2: Define the leader you want to become (e.g., decisive, focused, confident). Writing your leadership identity on a simple card creates clarity and accountability. Intentionality is a leadership superpower that elevates performance and reduces overwhelm. "Smile before you dial" is a simple example of how intention shapes outcomes. Ideal For: Founders, CEOs, executives, managers, and anyone committed to elevating their leadership capacity.

In this week's episode of Before You Cut Bangs, Laura and Claire get brutally honest about what happens when life hits you with more plot twists than a sad country music song.Laura opens up about walking through a season where everything changed at once — a move, personal upheaval, emotional whiplash — while Claire deals with her own chaos (think: her hardwood floors literally being ripped out).Together, they unpack the real question:  Why do we show up as totally different versions of ourselves when we're in crisis versus when life is calm?From stress responses to survival mode to the weird ways chaos makes us react, this episode is part therapy, part comedic relief, and part permission slip for anyone who feels like they're “handling it” but also maybe… not handling it.As we move into the holiday season — a time when chaos tends to multiply — Laura and Claire talk about:    •    What actually makes a day feel chaotic    •    Why small things hit so much harder when you're already at capacity    •    How to give yourself grace when you're not the “chill version” of yourself    •    The little anchors that help you come back to center    •    Why going through hard seasons doesn't make you dramatic — it makes you humanIf you're going through a lot right now, this one will make you feel a little less alone and a lot more normal. Grab your headphones, pour something warm, and let's laugh our way through the mess.____________________________________________________________________________________________In this episode we cover:    •    The difference between me in crisis and me when I'm chill    •    Why chaos makes everything feel bigger, heavier, and more dramatic    •    Laura's “my life is a country music song” season    •    Claire's own home-renovation nightmare    •    What actually defines chaos (spoiler: it's rarely the big thing)    •    Why you get snappy, defensive, avoidant, or shut down when you're overwhelmed    •    How fast life can change — and how to stay grounded when it does    •    What to expect as the holidays approach and emotional load increases    •    Small, practical ways to return to yourself in the middle of a storm

Text us! Today, we're running one of Shannon's favorite episodes with a new intro telling us why she picked this one.When you have so much going on that you're struggling to cope with it all, or you're dealing with a specific stressful situation, you might feel overwhelmed. Being overwhelmed can cause you to be flooded by thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations that are difficult to manage.Feeling overwhelmed is a normal response to everyday stressors. Things like constant news, social media, phones always demanding your attention, general work and family challenges, etc. can cause overwhelm. But when it becomes constant it can create problems.In today's episode we look at feeling overwhelmed, what causes it and what you can do to control it.

Parenting a child who constantly melts down—even when you've tried every gentle parenting tip out there—can leave you exhausted and doubting yourself.You're doing your best to be calm and validating, yet you still feel like you're walking on eggshells. You're not alone. The truth is, gentle parenting isn't enough on its own—and understanding whycan completely change your family dynamic.Let's break down what gentle parenting gets right, what it misses, and how to help your child truly regulate and thrive. Learn more about why empathy without boundaries backfires, what “Regulate, Connect, Correct” really means, and how to shift from over-validation to true emotional safety.Why Doesn't Gentle Parenting Always Work?Gentle parenting promotes empathy, validation, and connection instead of harsh punishment. That's beautiful in theory—but many parents discover it's not enough in real life.Here's why: Validation alone doesn't calm a dysregulated brain.Kids may feel heard, but not necessarily safe.A dysregulated nervous system can't learn, connect, or cooperate.Empathy without boundaries often fuels anxiety and chaos.When kids stay stuck in big emotions, they become dependent on constant reassurance instead of learning self-regulation. That's when parents start feeling drained and walking on eggshells.

In this episode, I open up about a month that completely drained me; a time when I tried to do everything and ended up feeling overwhelmed, empty, and burnt out. Looking back, I realized I was in a hypomanic phase of my bipolar II disorder; full of energy, ideas, and unrealistic goals that eventually crashed down on me. I'm getting real about what hypomania can look like behind the scenes: the productivity highs, the sleepless nights, the emotional crash, and the toll it takes on mental health. If you've ever felt like you were running on fumes, chasing every goal at once, or struggling to find balance while living with bipolar disorder, this episode is for you. We'll talk about learning to recognize hypomanic patterns, setting boundaries even when you feel unstoppable, and giving yourself grace when things fall apart.   SHOW NOTES:    WEBSITE: https://whatisheybailsdoing.com/    SHOP: https://baileyswaydesigns.etsy.com    FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/distressedtojoyful.baileysway/    INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/distressedtojoyful_baileysway/  YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisheybailsdoing

What if you could stop feeling stretched thin and finally focus on the clients—and the kind of work—you love most? That's exactly what Jackie Larsen-Robinson did when she launched her adult-focused private practice, Livewell Speech Therapy, in Provo, Utah.Jackie is a speech-language pathologist who started her career later in life—returning to school at nearly 40.
