#26: OVERWHELM

Let’s talk overwhelm.
Not in a motivational-quote, hustle-harder way — but from lived experience.

In this Monday mindset episode, I walk you through something that took me eight months to learn the hard way. It’s this: when you’re faced with stress, low mood, too many plates spinning, or just the general chaos of life — you’ve got two choices:
Do. Or don’t do.

That’s it. And in this episode, we explore:

• How overwhelm leads to inaction — and how to break the cycle

• The “mountain moment” analogy: why your brain is wired to act under pressure, and how to use that in day-to-day life

• A real story from my own life where I had to choose what plates to spin… and which to drop

• How to reset your mental slate, clear the clutter, and get back in control

• Why your reaction to stress is the one thing you can always choose — and how to train that skill

• The critical difference between distracting yourself and actually dealing with what’s in front of you

This is a practical, real-world episode about managing your headspace, getting out of your own way, and making small decisions that stack up into self-trust and confidence.

🎯 “You can scroll through it. Or you can take action. But only one of those builds proof you’re capable of more.”

Let’s get after it.
