WHAT’S NEW THIS WEEK
Feeling overwhelmed is often a natural part of life. Often, overwhelm can strike and leave us feeling all sorts of horrible before we even recognize what’s happening. Living in a chronically overwhelmed state is exhausting, draining, and doesn’t empower the happiest version of yourself.
This week’s episode will provide you with concrete tools to recognize feelings of overwhelm and help you move through it in a responsible way. Also, I touch on why so many of us have trouble asking for help. Are you one of those people?
