I remember a time when overwhelm would have completely taken over my day.
One of my kids was sick, I was trying to work, and almost at the same time, my husband texted to say he’d be traveling for work from Thursday to Sunday. Oh, and I was in the middle of planning a family vacation we were leaving for next week. Just as I was processing all of that, I noticed one of our dogs wasn’t acting right—it just felt like overwhelm could’ve consumed me.
Before I learned these tools, this would have sent me into a spiral. I would have tried to push through, snapping at my kids, feeling like a failure for not "handling it all" perfectly, and staying up way too late trying to control every moving piece. I'd be stressed, resentful, and exhausted.
But now? I handled it differently.
First, I paused. Instead of reacting, I took a deep breath and let myself process the overwhelm instead of fighting it. I reminded myself: "Overwhelm is a feeling, not a fact. I can handle this one step at a time."
Then, I got intentional. I canceled non-essential tasks, asked for help where I could (yes, even though my brain resisted it), and adjusted my expectations. I let go of the picture-perfect vacation planning and focused on the essentials. I shifted my energy from “this is all too much” to “I can figure this out.”
That night, instead of staying up late trying to micromanage everything, I chose rest. I got in bed early, reminding myself that I make better decisions when I’m well-rested. The next morning, I woke up feeling clear, capable, and calm. The circumstances hadn’t changed—my kid was still sick, my husband was still leaving—but I had changed.
I know how to be calm on the inside even when there’s chaos on the outside. And that has been a gift—to myself and my family.
This is what I want for you too, and exactly what you'll learn in this Mini Course.
