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.

Also, I touch on why so many of us have trouble asking for help. Are you one of those people?
