What NASA’s Fatigue Research Can Teach Us About Listening to Ourselves

Sat, 25 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In this episode, I explore NASA’s fascinating research on fatigue and how it highlights surprising gender differences in how tiredness is perceived and managed. Together, we’ll unpack what it means to acknowledge our tiredness without judgement and gently rebel against the pressure to hide it.

What NASA discovered about fatigue in astronauts
Why women’s tiredness is often underestimated (and men’s overestimated)
My own reflections on the exhaustion that comes with socialising
The unspoken societal pressures to appear “fine” when we’re anything but
How noticing and naming your tiredness can be a transformative act of self-care
The power of self-awareness to support your well-being
A gentle nudge to embrace your tiredness instead of pushing through it

Space for You: How to Gently Reclaim Ease Amid End-of-Year Chaos

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

This week, we’re diving into something we all long for but often struggle to find—space. Not just a gap in your schedule, but true space for you. The kind of space where your shoulders soften, your mind clears, and your heart feels light.

In this episode, we explore:

Why space is more than a “to-do” or productivity hack.
How to shift from the overwhelm of the season to a sense of spaciousness.
A gently rebellious approach to creating space, even when it feels impossible.
Practices to help you feel less squished and more at ease.

Plus, I share updates about my upcoming Create Your Gently Rebellious 2025 workshop on January 5th—a perfect opportunity to carve out space for what matters most to you in the new year.

Messy Journaling Prompts:

If you had more space, what would you do with it?
What would it feel like if you had a sense of spaciousness?
What does space mean to you? How do you know when you have it? How does it feel in your body, your mind, and your heart?

Join me as we gently rebel against the chaos and create more ease, joy, and freedom.

A Gently Rebellious Practice for Finding Peace and Joy Regardless

Sun, 23 Jun 2024 04:00:00 +0100

This episode is particularly personal.

I share a story from one of the most painful periods of my life — and what I discovered about peace and joy when circumstances gave me every reason not to feel either.

Because that's what "regardless" means. Not when things are good. Not when you've sorted everything out. Regardless.

what a particularly painful period taught me about genuine peace and joy
why peace and joy aren't rewards for when life gets easier
the gently rebellious practice that held me through it
finding your regardless — whatever your circumstances right now
why this might be the most important episode I've ever recorded

For anyone going through something hard right now — and wondering if peace and joy are still available to them. They are. Regardless.

Stripes: my newest Tiny-Huge Life-Changing Practice

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0100

I’ve been waking regularly thinking about stripes.

My mind was very focused on all the things I had to do, all the bookings in my calendar - the black stripes. I noticed that this focusing on the stuff to do felt like pressure and was resulting in feelings of overwhelm that needed to be shifted before I could start my day.

I wanted to start my day in a lighter way. After all, overwhelm is optional and it’s definitely not how I move through the world at my best.

And also, I like the stuff in my calendar! I put it there after all. This feeling of heaviness needed to be gently rebelled against.

I started to play with focusing on the space between the obligations - the white stripes. It feels so much better!

Listen to this week’s episode to find out more.

Reflecting on my own journey to burnout and back again, I realised — maybe a little later than I'd have liked — that trying to do it all and actually having it all are not the same thing. Not even close.

This episode is that realisation, shared honestly, in case it saves you some time.

why doing it all leads to burnout not fulfilment
the crucial difference between doing everything and having everything
what the journey to burnout and back taught me about what actually matters
how to stop chasing doing and start choosing having
what having it all actually looks like — from the inside

For anyone who is doing everything and somehow still feels like something is missing. This episode is why.

Discovering Ease: How Small Daily Actions Create Profound and Lasting Change

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Have you ever been in the middle of an ordinary moment and suddenly felt completely, unexpectedly right?

This episode starts with a road trip, an epiphany, and a cocktail of pure gratitude — and becomes a meditation on what ease actually feels like when you stop waiting for the big dramatic change and start noticing the small ones.

why ease comes from small actions not grand gestures
how neutral noticing resets your nervous system gently and consistently
the difference between reacting emotionally and responding from ease
why you deserve ease — not as a reward, but as a baseline
committing to more joy and ease as a profound act of gentle rebellion

For anyone who has craved inner peace and wondered if it's really available to someone as busy and driven as them. It is.

The hardest part of The Gentle Rebellion

Wed, 13 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0100

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on my personal struggles with The Morning Promise - a daily commitment to oneself - and discuss the potential resistance one might face in making this promise.

Drawing from personal experiences and insights gleaned from my clients, we unravel how to make the morning promise work for you, and how to harness the power of gentle rebellion to reconnect with your softer side, that part of you that knows how to switch off, let go of your working day and be present with those you love.

What if work, personal fulfilment and wellbeing weren't things you had to balance — because they were never meant to be in competition in the first place?

what the Gentle Rebellion actually is and why it matters now
why striving harder creates more overwhelm not more fulfilment
how to excel in your career without sacrificing your health and relationships
moving from bitterness and resentment to ease and satisfaction
redefining what a successful, fulfilling life actually looks like for you
thriving without the overwhelm into exhaustion cycle

For the quiet rebels who want it all — and are done being told that's unreasonable.

Discovering the Power of Self-Prioritization for Personal and Professional Transformation

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0100

May this episode inspire you to put yourself first.

Does your daily routine leave you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted? What if there was a way you could reclaim your joy and revitalize your life?

This episode is explores how the habit of prioritising ourselves can lead to a markedly improved life, both personally and professionally. I debunk the falsehood that fatigue and burnout are the inevitable price of success, emphasising instead the importance of self-care, and how it positively impacts not only you, but also those around you. Exploring the concept of self-care that goes beyond diet, sleep, and exercise to how we move through our day-to-day lives, ensuring our own wellbeing before extending ourselves to others.

How you are in the world matters: YOU MATTER

Embracing Life Instead of Enduring Overwhelm

Wed, 16 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Do you believe that overwhelm is a necessary part of achieving your dreams? Let me assure you, it's not. Join me as I read from and expand on, page one of my book: Overwhelm is Optional. Explore the maze of overwhelm, its effects on our lives, and the misconceptions we often harbour about it. I'll share how I've discovered at 55 that life isn't about pushing through exhaustion. Instead, it's about embracing self-care, discovering our values, and realising we are perfect as we are.

From Survival Mode to Skilful Living: Reinterpreting the Effects of Pressure

Wed, 12 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Reflecting on my experiences managing massive crowds at the Glastonbury Festival, I've realised it's a perfect parallel to how we often react to everyday pressures. In emergency situations, we instinctively activate survival mode - remaining calm, clear-minded, and able to act quickly. But when this same system is applied to daily tasks, we can end up feeling overwhelmed, locked into rigid thinking patterns. Could there be a different way to navigate the pressures of daily life?

Tune in as we delve into the effects of pressure on our mental and physical health and how we might transition from mind-based living to a more skilful way of managing pressure.

Finding Contentment in a World Full of Choices

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Ever felt the gnawing anxiety that you're missing out on something? That there's a world of experiences passing you by? I've been there too – stuck in the vortex of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). But the truth is, we can't catch every opportunity that comes our way. The world is a whirlwind of experiences, events, and moments. It's impossible to seize them all, and that's okay. Tune in to join me as I unravel my personal journey of coming to terms with this reality, shifting from the despair of missing out to the joy of selective decision-making.

Life's about choices, about picking the experiences that truly resonate with us. It's about liberating ourselves from the shackles of societal expectations and pressures. And most importantly, it's about self-acceptance. As we navigate this world teeming with opportunities, we need to be gentle with ourselves, acknowledging the fact that we are not separate from nature but an intrinsic part of it. Through my insights, I hope to inspire you to break free from the clutches of FOMO, find contentment in your choices, and discover the beauty in living life on your own terms.

Free the Ducks: The Balance between Organization and Freedom

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Ever feel like you're constantly trying to get your ducks in a row before you take on any task or project? What if I told you that this relentless pursuit of perfect organization might be adding more pressure and overwhelm to your life rather than creating the sense of order you crave? It's time to challenge this notion and consider whether your ducks might actually prefer a little chaos.

Join me as I share my own journey of battling with this feeling of needing to have everything perfectly in line before I can embark on something new. Through personal anecdotes like the production of this very podcast, I highlight the difference between being organized for the sake of freedom versus being organized because it's considered the "right" thing to do.

Let's find a balance between structure and freedom, and understand when the pressure we put on ourselves is actually self-inflicted. So, do your ducks really need to be in a row, or is it time to let them be free, wild, and wonderfully chaotic? Let's find out together.

Episode 164: Everything you want is on the inside of your comfort zone

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Everything you want is on the inside of your comfort zone

Yep, you read that right - the clear head and confidence you need to take that next step towards your dream is NOT on the other side of your comfort zone.

Here’s why:

When you allow yourself to feel comfortable your nervous system resets.

When your nervous system resets your head clears and you can start to see a way forward.

When you get out of your head and allow your body to feel grounded and at ease, you tap into the courage you need to dare to take that first tiny step.

Episode 148: How to find the courage to decide what you really want

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Reflecting on last week’s episode (147) and my reflections on 2022 I realised that for years I didn’t think I could have what I really wanted.

Either because it wasn’t acceptable (you want too much)

Impossible (that’s not how the world works)

Or undeserving (not good enough in all sorts of ways)

*at this point it might be worth checking out the famous Dietary Cheeseburger Episode

Which is why I want to talk about the courage to admit what you really want.

Welcome to the Overwhelm is Optional podcast where each week we find ways to gently rebel against the nonsense that overwhelm and exhaustion are just the price you pay to have the life you want.

Welcome to the Overwhelm is Optional podcast where each week we find ways to gently rebel against the nonsense that overwhelm and exhaustion are just the price you pay to have the life you want.

Adventures in Overwhelm with Anna Senko: How it felt from the inside was not how it looked from the outside

Wed, 03 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0100

Anna Senko is a garden designer and former research scientist.

She shares her adventures in overwhelm with huge generosity and the kind of detail you crave when you want to know it’s not just you (it’s NOT - there are loads of successful women who are secretly struggling with overwhelm)

She describes “how it felt from the inside not how it looked from the outside”

You’re surprised at how completely overwhelmed you feel because you’re someone who usually not only copes with their own life but also helps others cope.

There’s nothing wrong with you - it’s the overwhelm.

Episode 123: The Power of Mini Adventures

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0100

You know all those adventures you're postponing?

Like trekking in Nepal

A weekend at Bedruthan Spa

Kayaking the River Wye

The things you worked really hard to be able to have the money to do

Yes, those things that are somewhere hidden by your current 'temporary' overwhelm

The current 'temporary' overwhelm that seems to be hanging around longer than expected

The kind of life-crushing overwhelm that means you never get around to repotting that plant let alone organise that adventure you meant to have had by now!

You still want those things?

You miss that fun, silly, adventuress!!

You want her back?!

Episode 122: Think you should be tidier? Think again!

Wed, 15 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0100

How do you feel about mess?

Do you feel you ought to be tidier?

Or maybe you feel those you live with should be tidier?

Do you feel like 'if only I was tidier then I would feel better'?

There's been so much written about clutter and tidying over the past few years.

So much pressure to be more organised, clutter-free, better at managing our homes in some way.

Episode 115: So what's the Gentle Rebel's first step then...?

Wed, 27 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0100

This is such a big shift I could do a whole series of episodes on it!

Everyone wants your attention and these days we know how to hijack it and have the tech to do it in a more targeted and invasive way than before.

Attention is our experience of our life - where you place your attention is your life.

Controlling your attention means freedom from your attention being hijacked.

If you’re not happy with the amount of overwhelm in your life - gaining control of your attention is the first step in gently rebelling and getting your life back.

The Overwhelm is Optional podcast is for you if you want to quit the struggle with overwhelm and live your life to the full. You don’t want to compromise your health and relationships in order to have well-paid, satisfying, meaningful work. You want it all - on your terms.

Episode 114: Let's talk about selfishness

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0100

What's your thoughts on the loo roll supply crisis? (In whichever of the lockdowns it was - it's all a bit of a blur now isn't it?!)

I'm asking because I think you're the kind of person who wants the world to be kinder.

And if the world is displayed as selfish to you, you're probably going to find it even harder to put yourself first.

And that's going to prevent you from being a Gentle Rebel.

Because a Gentle Rebel commits to herself first. To living her life, her way.

And when you, you lovely person, live your life in a way that makes you happy and healthy and fun to be around, the world becomes a better place because it has you in it FULLY.

This week's episode of The Overwhelm is Optional podcast is all about the elephant in the room: SELFISHNESS!!

I use the loo roll supply crisis, slopey shoulders and missed deadlines as ways to think about selfishness, boundaries and selfcare.

The Overwhelm is Optional podcast is for you if you want to quit the struggle with overwhelm and live your life to the full. You don’t want to compromise your health and relationships in order to have well-paid, satisfying, meaningful work. You want it all - on your terms.

What is The Gentle Rebellion? — For the Quiet Rebels Who Are Done With the Overwhelm, Exhaustion and Frustration Cycle

Wed, 23 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000

You are not alone. There is nothing wrong with you. And you may just have stumbled on exactly what you need.

The Gentle Rebellion is for the quiet rebels whose struggle to create a life they feel at home in has led to the life-crushing, energy-draining, focus-zapping kind of overwhelm.

It won't. Not that way. There's another way.

what The Gentle Rebellion actually is and who it's for
the struggling rebel cycle of overwhelm, exhaustion and frustration — and how to break it
why feeling close to breaking doesn't mean something is wrong with you
what it feels like to finally find a life you feel at home in
your invitation to join the rebellion

For the quiet rebels. You belong here.

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000

how to stop the "I should be absorbing this" feeling

Have You Had Enough of Working This Hard to Be Happy? Why Sacrificing Now for Later is a Lie

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Sacrifice now, be happy later. Work hard enough, push through enough, achieve enough — and then you'll finally get to enjoy your life.

We were sold a lie.

This episode is a rant. A warm, honest, gently rebellious rant about the narrative that has kept driven, big-hearted people exhausted and waiting for a happiness that keeps moving further away.

the long-standing lie about sacrificing now to be happy later
why the "just push through" story is keeping you stuck
what it actually costs you to keep waiting for permission to enjoy your life
why happiness isn't a destination you arrive at after enough hard work
the gentle rebellion against deferring your own joy

For anyone who has worked incredibly hard and is starting to wonder when the happy part begins. It begins now.

Is Positive Thinking Adding to Your Overwhelm? — Plus the Worst Advice I Was Ever Given

Wed, 26 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Positive thinking is supposed to help. So why does it sometimes make everything worse?

This episode is honest about something most coaches won't say — that positive thinking, applied in the wrong way at the wrong time, can actually add to your overwhelm rather than ease it. Including one of the worst pieces of advice I was ever given.

why positive thinking can backfire for driven, sensitive people
the difference between genuine positivity and toxic positivity
what to do when positive thinking just adds more pressure
a more honest, effective alternative that actually works
why neutral noticing beats forced positivity every time

For anyone who's been told to think positive — and felt worse for trying.

why your environment matters more than most productivity advice admits
identifying what in your surroundings is contributing to your overwhelm

Are You Postponing Your Life? Why "When This, Then That" is Keeping You Stuck

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000

When this project is done. When the kids are older. When things calm down. When I've achieved enough.

When this, then that. Sound familiar?

The pressure to keep temporarily postponing your life feels like it's coming from your circumstances. This episode gently but firmly shows you it isn't.

why "when this, then that" thinking keeps your real life permanently out of reach
why the pressure to postpone isn't coming from outside you
how temporary becomes permanent without you ever deciding it
what's actually creating the pressure — and how to address it at the source
the gentle rebellion against putting your life on hold

For anyone who has been waiting for the right moment to start living — and is starting to suspect it might never arrive on its own.

This podcast was created to help big-hearted, driven professionals break free from overwhelm and experience more clarity, ease and joy.

Leonie Dawson is an award-winning entrepreneur who has created $11 million working just 10 hours a week — whilst being completely, unapologetically herself. And that last part is where I learn the most.

how Leonie built a multi-million dollar business without burning out
working fewer hours whilst making a bigger impact
why being fully yourself is your greatest business strategy
the mindset shifts that make ease and success genuinely compatible
practical wisdom for big-hearted, driven entrepreneurs

The Dietary Cheeseburger Episode — How Your Beliefs Determine What's Actually Possible For You

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 04:00:00 +0000

If you believe a dietary cheeseburger exists, you can have one. And that apparently ridiculous idea is the key to everything.

This episode uses the dietary cheeseburger as a playful, low-stakes model to explore one of the most profound ideas in all of my work — that what you believe is possible for you determines what actually is. The cheeseburger doesn't matter. But your meaningful work, your health, your happiness, your relationships? They do.

why belief determines possibility — and how to shift it
using a low-stakes model to remove the pressure from high-stakes change
making the impossible possible by understanding what's actually blocking you
what the dietary cheeseburger reveals about your relationship with what you want
applying this model to meaningful work, health, happiness and relationships

For anyone who secretly suspects the life they want might actually be possible — and needs a cheeseburger to prove it.

This podcast was created to help big-hearted, driven professionals break free from overwhelm and experience more clarity, ease and joy.

Is the Impossible Actually Possible For You? Why What You Want Might Be Closer Than You Think

Wed, 27 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0100

What if the thing that feels completely impossible — meaningful work, great health, real relationships, actually enjoying the life you've worked so hard for — is actually the most natural thing in the world for you?

And what if the "realistic" version everyone else is settling for is the real impossibility?

This episode is for the ones who want it all and refuse to believe they can't have it.

why what feels impossible might actually be exactly right for you
the frustrating gap between the life you work for and the life you get to live
why having meaningful work AND health AND great relationships isn't greedy — it's the point
how to stop settling for the possible when the impossible is yours
a gentle but firm rebellion against lowering your expectations

For anyone who's ever been told to be more realistic — and never quite managed to believe it. Good.

Stop Trying So Hard to Be Perfect — The Invisible Pressure That's Quietly Overwhelming You

Wed, 20 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0100

You might not even think of yourself as a perfectionist. But perfectionism is sneaky — it hides in the invisible pressure you put on yourself without even noticing it's there.

This episode shines a light on the surprisingly subtle ways perfectionism adds to your overwhelm — and what to do about it.

why you don't have to identify as a perfectionist to be affected by it
the invisible pressure of perfectionism and how it quietly drains you
how trying to be perfect fuels the overwhelm into exhaustion cycle
recognising your own perfectionist patterns — however well disguised
the gently rebellious alternative to the pursuit of perfect

For anyone who knows perfection isn't possible — and somehow keeps trying anyway.

Episode 87: Overwhelmed by Life Admin?!

Wed, 13 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0100

Nobody talks about life admin overwhelm. But it's there — quietly draining your energy, filling the gaps between everything else, and never, ever seeming to get done.

This episode shines a light on the hidden pressures of life admin and — hopefully — eases them a little.

why life admin creates a unique and underestimated kind of overwhelm
the hidden mental load that comes with just keeping life running
why it never feels finished — and what to do about that
gentle, practical ways to ease the pressure without adding more to your list
giving yourself permission to be human about it

For anyone whose to-do list has a secret second to-do list living inside it.

Is Procrastination Really That Terrible — Or Is It Actually Useful Information?

Wed, 06 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0100

Everyone tells you procrastination is the enemy. What if they're wrong?

This episode takes a gently rebellious look at procrastination — not as a character flaw to fix, but as useful information your body and mind are trying to give you. With Neutral Noticing you get to decide what it's really telling you.

why procrastination isn't always what it looks like
what your procrastination might actually be trying to tell you
the difference between avoidance and genuine useful resistance
how Neutral Noticing helps you understand your own patterns
moving from self-judgement to curiosity — and why that changes everything

For anyone who's ever beaten themselves up for procrastinating — and suspected there might be a kinder, more useful way to look at it.

Yes, you get to keep that holiday feeling! Here's how.

Wed, 29 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0100

The choice is yours - bring whatever feeling you long for in a holiday into your day-to-day existence because you can. You get to - for free (and without booking flights and driving for hours). It takes practice because, well, no one taught you to do this at school so it’s probably new information (and may sound a little crazy!)

Then next time you actually do go on holiday it will be much faster to step into holiday mode because every cell in your body will have practised and be ready.

How cool is that?

One Powerful Practice to Start Today — The Unexpectedly Lovely Technique That Rewires Your Brain

Wed, 15 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0100

Don't be fooled by the name. This is not fluffy.

Unexpectedly Lovely is a tried and tested technique designed to retrain your mind to notice the good that is always around you — but hidden by the fog of overwhelm. It is, quietly and surprisingly, one of the most powerful brain rewiring practices I know.

Always expect the unexpectedly lovely. And you will find it.

why your overwhelmed brain is trained to miss the good stuff
how deliberately pausing to find something unexpectedly lovely retrains your attention
why this works when other positivity practices don't
how to build this into your day without it becoming another thing to do
the science of why noticing beauty and goodness changes your brain over time

For anyone who suspects there might be more good around them than they're currently able to see. There is.

Why I Don't Teach Stress Relief Techniques — and What I Teach Instead

Wed, 08 Sep 2021 01:00:00 +0100

Stress relief techniques are everywhere. And most of them are designed to help you recover enough to go straight back into the fray and push yourself to the brink all over again.

That's not what I do.

As a trained Zen yoga teacher and coach, I teach life-changing mindset shifts and body-based tools to deal with the overwhelm before it gets to that point — so you never need to recover from something that didn't have to happen in the first place.

why stress relief techniques miss the point
the difference between recovering from overwhelm and preventing it
why getting back into the fray isn't always the goal
the mindset shifts that change your relationship with overwhelm for good
body-based tools that deal with overwhelm at the source, not the symptoms
why working from the inside out changes everything

For anyone who is tired of recovering from the same thing over and over — and is ready to change the pattern instead.

There's Nothing Wrong With You — Why Treating Yourself as a Problem to Solve is Making Everything Worse

Sat, 28 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0100

What if the belief that something is wrong with you is itself the problem?

Treating yourself as a series of problems to be fixed adds one enormous, exhausting project to an already overwhelming list. And it's a project you can never finish — because there was nothing wrong with you in the first place.

why the "fix yourself" approach to overwhelm makes it worse not better
how self-improvement culture accidentally convinces us we're broken
the whack-a-mole effect of treating yourself as a problem to solve
what changes when you drop the project of fixing yourself
a gentler, truer way of being with yourself that actually works

For anyone who's spent years working on themselves and still feels like they're not quite there yet. You're already there. You just can't see it yet.

How Long is Your Get Better At List? The Hidden Source of Stress You Didn't Know You Had

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0100

You didn't know you had a Get Better At List. Neither did I, until I found mine.

But it's there — quietly running in the background, adding to your stress and your sense that you're never quite enough. Uncovering it is surprisingly powerful.

what a Get Better At List actually is and why everyone has one
why you didn't know it was there — and why that makes it more damaging
how your hidden Get Better At List is contributing to your overwhelm
what happens when you bring it into the light
how to use this awareness to get your stress under control

For anyone who has a nagging sense that they're always falling short — without quite knowing why. This might be why.

When Overwhelm Hits Like a Tidal Wave — My Personal Story and What Actually Helped

Wed, 11 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0100

Sometimes overwhelm doesn't creep up on you. Sometimes it arrives all at once and takes you completely by surprise — even when you know better.

This episode is me, being honest about exactly that.

what a sudden tidal wave of overwhelm actually feels like
why even the tools you trust can feel out of reach in the moment
what I did — and what actually helped
the difference between managing overwhelm and being caught off guard by it
what this experience taught me about resilience, self-compassion and recovery

For anyone who's been blindsided by overwhelm and wondered if they're doing it all wrong. You're not.

This podcast was created to help big-hearted, driven professionals break free from overwhelm and experience more clarity, ease and joy.

Why Your Journal Should Be Messy, Disposable — and Thrown in the Bin (or Burned)

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0100

Forget the beautiful leather notebook. Forget the perfect handwriting. Forget keeping it forever.

Messy Journaling is one of the most powerful techniques I use with clients — and it works precisely because it breaks every rule you think journaling has to follow. Write messily, ignore grammar and spelling, let the pen move without your mind in charge. Then throw it away. Or burn it.

The disposability is the point. The mess is the point. And what comes out will surprise you.

what Messy Journaling actually is and why it works
how writing from the body and heart bypasses the overthinking mind
why making it disposable creates the safety to be truly honest
how messiness breaks the perfectionist rules that keep you stuck
the hardest question I ask every client — and what happens when you answer it honestly
how to use Messy Journaling to uncover what you actually want

For anyone who has tried journaling, found it too precious or too perfect, and given up. This is different. This works.

No Time and No Energy? Why Time Management Advice Makes It Worse — and What Actually Works

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0100

Tried the time audit. Made a schedule. Colour coded the calendar. Still exhausted and still out of time.

What if the problem isn't how you're managing your time — but your relationship with it altogether?

This episode offers an unusual solution. Not another productivity hack — something quieter, more rebellious and a lot more kind.

why conventional time management drains the energy you need to use it
the hidden cost of trying to squeeze more into an already full life
a gentler, more effective relationship with time
why ease and presence are the most practical time tools you own

For anyone who is tired of being told to do more with less.

why constant fear and doom activates survival mode and hides everything good
the difference between healthy awareness and unhealthy doom consumption
ninja self-distraction skills that actually work

Episode 71: Is it time to rebel against yourself?

Wed, 14 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0100

In this week’s episode, I deliberately experiment with letting go of my strict routine for how and when I record my podcast episodes, to encourage you to see if there is anywhere in your life where you are putting pressure on yourself.

Is it time to rebel against yourself? Is there some hidden time, energy and space waiting for you in our routine?

How to Release Fear and Start Living Again — A Gentle Rebellion Against Anxiety and Doom

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0100

Fear and doom messaging is everywhere. And for big-hearted, sensitive people it lands hardest — even when it wasn't aimed at you.

This episode is my contribution to a different conversation. One about healing, celebration and gently releasing the fear and anxiety that can build up in the body when the world feels overwhelming.

how constant fear messaging creates anxiety even in resilient people
why the people who least need to hear doom hear it loudest
the difference between those who get on with life and those who become paralysed — and why it's not weakness
a body-based technique to release built-up fear and anxiety
choosing joy and celebration as a genuinely rebellious act

For anyone who's forgotten what it feels like to just get on with living — and is ready to remember.

No cushion. No 5am alarm. No striving. Just one minute.

what Neutral Noticing is and how it's different from meditation
why feeling your feet on the ground is more powerful than it sounds
how to take a break from your overloaded mind in sixty seconds
taking back control of your attention without force or discipline
reconnecting to the wisdom of your body — and why that matters

Weathering Storms — Because There Will Always Be Something to Disturb Your Coffee

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0100

There will always be something. A big storm, a small one, an unexpected one that arrives just as you've finally sat down with your coffee.

The question isn't how to avoid the storms. It's how to get better at weathering them.

This episode is about building the kind of quiet resilience that comes not from grand gestures or white-knuckling through — but from practising with the tiny storms so the bigger ones don't knock you flat.

why there will always be something to disturb your coffee — and that's okay
the difference between big storms and small ones and why both matter
how practising with tiny disturbances builds real, lasting resilience
why weathering storms is a skill you can actually get better at
the gentle rebellious approach to setbacks, disruptions and unexpected chaos

For anyone who'd just like to finish their coffee in peace — and knows that's not always possible, but wants to handle it better when it isn't.

Episode 65: Settle back into the moment

Tue, 01 Jun 2021 15:00:00 +0100

We miss so much by rushing on past moments, always on to the next things to do or see or be.

As I bridge the gap between launching my new programme 'Get Your Life Back' and starting working with those lovely people who joined, this quote from Joseph Goldstein came back to support me:

"There is great value in slowing down all our activities. No hurry. No place to go. Nothing else to do but just a settling back into the moment."

My default setting was always to be on to the next thing as I loved achieving things and wanted to live life to the full.

I still do, but have learnt that my life is fuller when I remember to settle back into the moment.

Start where you are - The first in a series of Tiny-Huge Life-Changing Workshops

Mon, 24 May 2021 13:00:00 +0100

Feeling stuck between pushing yourself to breakdown and burnout and quitting your job or business?

That’s no place to be - you know you can’t keep coming back to this place but you’ve tried so many things already and really don’t know what to do. It just seems too hard and very unfair!

Other people seem to be able to lead their lives successfully - you’ve worked hard, you're intelligent and well-educated, people rely on you and you’re really good at what you do. So why is it so hard to work out how to live in a way that works for you?

Because the habits, beliefs and perspectives that have got you to this point are no longer working for you. Getting clear on this will enable you to see what’s going on.

And being able to see what’s going on - taking a good look at where you are and why - is the first step in getting your life back.

In this extra episode I discuss Tunnels, Circles and Caves and how identifying when and why you end up in them can help you get your life back.

The Overwhelming Fear of Disappointing Others — How to Stop It Running Your Life

Wed, 19 May 2021 00:00:00 +0100

If the thought of letting someone down makes your stomach drop, this episode is for you.

The fear of disappointing others is one of the most common — and least talked about — drivers of overwhelm in driven, big-hearted people. It keeps you saying yes when you mean no, working harder than is healthy, and slowly losing yourself in the process.

why the fear of disappointing others is so paralysing for high achievers
how people pleasing drives the overwhelm into exhaustion cycle
why this fear prevents you from living as truly yourself
gentle, practical ways to start putting yourself back in the equation
what life looks like when you stop outsourcing your self-worth to other people's reactions

For anyone who's ever worked themselves into the ground trying not to let anyone down — including themselves.

Episode 60: Overwhelmed by 'shoulds' and 'betters'?

Wed, 12 May 2021 00:00:00 +0100

Overwhelmed by ‘shoulds’ and ‘betters’?

Sometimes we can overwhelm ourselves. Noticing this gives us power to get out of overwhelm.

Looking back, it was the ‘shoudling’ myself, the need to keep being better at everything and the comparing myself to others who seem to have everything far more together than I felt I did, that led to complete overwhelm and making poor decisions that eventually led to a rather inelegant exit from a once-loved career.

Working with clients I find that with practice noticing how often they ‘should’ themselves or think they ought to be ‘better’ in some way, soon leads to a marked improvement in how they feel about their life.

But for all of us, we also notice that these habits rear their ugly heads whenever we are in the process of reaching for the next level in our lives.

Noticing this too gives us valuable information and more power than we realise.

This episode was recorded in my garden, just because I can.

Don't Listen to This! — Why Listening to Yourself is More Important Than Any Podcast

Wed, 05 May 2021 00:00:00 +0100

Seriously. Put this down and listen to yourself instead.

This episode is about the most important listening practice there is — tuning into yourself rather than constantly consuming external noise, advice and opinions. Including, occasionally, this podcast.

Neutral Noticing is the practice that makes this possible. And once you have it, everything changes.

why listening to yourself beats listening to anyone else
how constant consumption quietly drowns out your own inner wisdom
what Neutral Noticing actually is and why it cuts through the noise
how to get out of your head and back into your own life
why this might be the last self-development episode you ever need

For anyone who has consumed a lot of advice and still feels lost. The answer isn't more input. It's you.

Episode 56: It's time for some honesty

Wed, 14 Apr 2021 00:00:00 +0100

It’s time for some honesty

I’m not perfect.

I don’t have it all sussed.

My voice may calm you but I’m not always calm.

Don’t be fooled by the zen-like exterior!

What I do know is that I am living the life of my dreams.

I am creating a life that works for me by undoing, every day, the habits of success that led to me crashing and burning, damaging my health and relationships and losing touch with an essential part of myself.

And part of this is standing up and owning all my knowledge and skills in this area.

Because helping you create a life that works for you, helping you undo those habits of success and replace them with habits that allow you to have work you love that supports the lifestyle you want without compromising your health and relationships - that is my meaningful work that I LOVE.

How Neville Wright Turned 37p Into £100 Million — and What It Really Teaches Us About Overwhelm

Wed, 10 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Rags to riches stories are inspiring. They can also feel completely impractical for the rest of us mere mortals.

That's exactly why I invited Neville Wright onto the podcast. Because beneath the extraordinary headline — 37p to £100 million — is a story about looking at things differently. And that's what this podcast is all about.

how standing still helps you move forward
the power of kaizen and focusing on the small things
why we need one million more self-employed people
Neville's top tip for dealing with overwhelm
why remarkable success and a human pace aren't mutually exclusive

For anyone who finds big success stories more intimidating than inspiring — this one is different.

why overwhelm deserves to be taken seriously — not just managed
the real cost of leaving overwhelm unaddressed
why 'just getting through' is not a life strategy
what changes when you decide enough is enough
your gentle but firm invitation to stop wasting any more of your life on it

Episode 42: WARNING: READING THE NEWS CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH

Wed, 06 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Should the news carry a health warning like cigarette packets?

WARNING: READING THE NEWS CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH

Research shows this, which is why I, and many others, stopped reading the news a few years ago.

I only had one embarrassing moment of being less informed than maybe I should have been. Because the ‘news’ will always filter through and because mainly it goes in cycles of doom it’s pretty easy to predict.

Until this last year. And suddenly I’m getting pulled back into addictive news reading.

None of it has helped me and it has certainly caused me a great deal of stress and anxiety.

The news is not the news. It is a selection of manipulatively written messages and stories designed to hijack your attention and make money.

That doesn’t mean its evil or bad. There are many excellent journalists doing genuinely important work. But their voices are often drowned out by a fast-moving news cycle that demands ever-increasingly attention highjacking headlines.

So, how to stay informed without damaging your health?

Control how often and what you read.

Be aware of the addiction - what are you searching for? If it’s genuine information there are better sources.

Find an alternative. These are free:

https://www.positive.news/

https://www.tortoisemedia.com/

https://fullfact.org/

https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

If you have a good source of informative news that does not set off the stress response in a paralysing unhelpful way I’d love you to share it here.

It’s time we did something about the life-destroying fear and anxiety.

Episode 41: Release and Celebrate 2020

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Celebrating 2020

In this last episode of 2020 I want to pause to celebrate and release what has been good and not so good about my attempt at podcasting this year.

In March I decided to start a podcast with ease. I added with ease to all my goals this year. Turns out that doing things with ease is not always easy as it requires, for me, not overworking, not ignoring my body’s signals, following my heart and controlling my attention to stay focused on achieving with ease.

The practice of doing things with ease is the reward. Changing the habits of pushing my poor brain through the concrete wall of overwhelm, forcing my body out of bed when it ached all over, using down tears and the feeling that something was weighing down my heart.

Learning to listen and then daring to respond - that is what doing things with ease has taught me. Plus the applying of all my attention practice gained through the many hours teaching and personal practice of meditation and yoga.

So I’ve learnt a lot, gained much from changing how I approached my huge goals. But this podcast has been one of the easier things to do with ease.

I bought a mic (snowball yeti), recorded in Audacity, uploaded to Buzzsprout, followed Pat Flynn’s advice and here I am 41 episodes later and people are listening and benefiting from my thoughts.

This is magical. And I am grateful.

Grateful that I practised what I preach, got out of my own way and dared to keep it really really simple.

I didn’t do a proper launch. I didn’t try to hack the algorithms. I’m ok with that. Although I recognise that at some point it might be worth stepping up the publicity so the podcast reachers more people so that I can be sponsored by Vivobarefoot (Feel your feet on the ground…) but this year it was about ease - about getting out of my own way and just doing it.

Fear stops us doing so many things and feels like extra spiky overwhelm - like the fog of overwhelm with added pain somehow. My first review was 3 stars. Personally, I don’t see the point of leaving a 3-star review. What good does it do? This is something I had release so I could continue my experiment.

My aim was to find a faster way to get m ideas out into the world and to allow peop

Episode 40: The Problem with Mindset Work

Wed, 23 Dec 2020 12:00:00 +0000

The Problem with Mindset

Yes of course mindset matters and changing your mindset has the potential to change your life in exciting ways.

But you can’t just implant a positive mindset on top of all the negative thoughts and feelings.

Mindset is deep work and takes time.

Repeating positive affirmations that don’t feel true for you doesn’t work. What does work is acknowledging where you and starting from there.

Dropping into the body and noticing the physical sensations that come up for you around a mindset you wish to (or have been told to change) can be really helpful and easier than staying stuck in your head with the ‘shoulds’, ‘oughts’ and need for constant self-improvement.

Starting with the Zen premise that you are both perfect AND a work in progress, rather than something to be constantly improved, someone who is lacking and needs to work on themselves is far more empowering than trying to force a shallow mindset shift.

Ultimately mindset work is part of the coninutal journey of self-acceptance and the value we place on ourselves, our work and our impact on the world.

Be kind to yourself. Go at your own pace with playful curiousity. What comes up for you around the mindset shift is the really powerful stuff.

Mindset work is just another tool for helping you live the unexpectedly lovely life you long for. Don’t let it be another thing to beat yourself up with :)

And remember you are PERFECT AND A WORK IN PROGRESS.

Episode 38: Resting is a rebellious act. So rest.

Wed, 09 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Rest as a rebellious act

Feeling overwhelmed and waiting to get through the backlog of things-to-do before you rest?

The mistaken belief that we cannot rest when we need to - just because we feel like it.

Culturally unacceptable to rest when you are tired - just because you feel like it is derided.

And yet rest is such a beautiful thing. How good do you feel when well-rested? How much clarity and ease and joy to you gain from resting?

We have one body and yet we treat it as if we can just swap it out for the new one hanging fresh and ready to go at the back of the wardrobe.

Stop burning through your life-energy as if it was worthless. Listen to your body. Rest when you need to. Without guilt, or worry that you might never get up again.

Trust your body - it’s a miracle, quite literally. You’re tired because you need a break, not because you’re weak and useless.

I dare you to rebel against the pressure to keep going.

Resting is a rebellious act.

So rest.

‘Rested, we are ready for the world, but not held hostage by it…’

Episode 35: How to Beat the Overwhelm with Danni Wade: practical tips & insights from one very busy woman

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Beat the Overwhelm with Danni Wade

This episode is packed full of practical ways to manage and reduce overwhelm.

Danni is a wife and mum to 2 girls, works full-time as a Senior Sales Exec, a property investor, an SSAS trustee as well as being a goal mapping & productivity coach.

Danni tells her own adventure in overwhelm admitting that she never thought the overwhelm would tip her into burnout. “I thought I’ve got this, I can do this and I would just keep pushing myself”

Her reflections on her experience with burnout are well worth a listen (like my journey it came as a shock).

So she gets it… life can feel completely overwhelming sometimes.

Danni has spent years investing in herself, with a strong focus on self-development, which led her to discover her biggest passion… which is helping people optimise themselves & realise their potential.

Danni's approach consists of a healthy dose of perspective, focusing on what you can control, raising levels of self-awareness and breaking things down into manageable chunks.

Episode 34: How thinking about death helps you live more fully

Wed, 11 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

How contemplating death can help you live more fully now

Its remembrance day here in the UK and yes it’s a gloomy November with the days getting rapidly shorter and shorter. And yes there’s a whole load of stuff to worry about but everything changes and one day (hopefully a long time from now) your life will end.

The best way to honour all those who gave their lives to protect yours is to live fully now.

So get out of the overwhelm and connect your heart - what would make your heart sing today? What would make you truly happy?

What do you want to be remembered for? What gifts do you have to share with the world?

Because overwhelm can trick you into feeling so crushed that you think you don’t matter. How you are in the world matters very much. We need you and your unique gifts and perspective.

So this episode invites you to think about how you want people to talk about you after you have gone.

Stuck in If/When/Just Get Through Mode? This Episode is For You

Wed, 07 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100

You work hard. You're a good person. Why is your life still this hard?

You're tired of just getting through. You dream sometimes of running away — a beach, a camper van, somewhere quiet. But you know you'd come back, because there are things about your life you love. You just can't seem to get to them.

You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're stuck. And this episode is for exactly that.

why if/when/just get through mode is so hard to escape
why being tired and overwhelmed makes it impossible to know what to try
why huge changes aren't the answer — and what is
gentle ways forward when you don't have the energy for big ones
the life you intended to live is still available to you

For anyone who knows this isn't the life they meant to be live — and hasn't given up on the one they did.

Episode 28: Interview with intuitive healer and maven, Lexie Wrightson

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0100

Interview with intuitive healer and maven, Lexie Wrightson

Lexie Wrightson is an intuitive healer, reiki master, spiritual mentor and maven. No, I didn’t know what a maven was either! Listen to find out.

She gives you the tools to learn to take time for yourself, achieve your goals whilst discovering more about yourself. She has created the nourishing space of the Soul Sister Community for women who want to learn to dance to their own energies and rhythms.

Lexie’s own adventures in overwhelm led her to a very dark time around her 30th birthday where the high expectations she had of herself to be the perfect wife, housewife, friend, colleague etc led her to question who she was and what she was doing with her life.

You can find out more about Lexie and how she works here:

Episode 27: Bad night's sleep?

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0100

Bad night’s sleep?

Sleep’s an interesting one. We all feel better for a goodnight’s sleep but there are plenty of badges of honour for doing without.

I’m a big fan of sleep. I love that marvellous feeling of having had a good night’s sleep.

Last night I was woken from a deep sleep, no idea by what, and the ideas monster arrived and I was awake till just before dawn. But where I used to be really anxious and overwhelmed after a bad night’s sleep I’m now fine.

This is what I’ve learnt about sleep and overwhelm:

I’m capable of having a really great day after an appalling night - and I’m also capable of having a rubbish day after a refreshing night.

If I don’t sleep for awhile my body rebalances in its miraculous way - making me slightly sick if necessary until I take the extra rest I need and recover properly.

But mainly its the anxiety about not sleeping that has caused me the most overwhelm over the years and this was during the period of my life when I pushed myself to the limit because I still believed the myth that success requires sacrifice. And so my life was planned out in such a way that there was no slack, no space a poor night’s sleep.

Which brings me to overplanning because I believe overplanning and overwhelm and anxiety about poor sleep are linked. Disturbed sleep is inevitable and overplanning doesn’t work as a coping mechanism for a high achieving ‘successful’ lifestyle because as the saying goes….’ people plan...god laughs’.

Instead, accepting that there will always be something to disturb your coffee, disrupt your sleep and upset your plans, that uncertainty is a given and the ability to deal with it a necessary skill for a successful life - starting from that point makes sense.

Yes, productivity hacks and sleep hacks can be helpful but life is chaotic and planning for sleepless …..might just be what helps you sleep better.

Have an unexpectedly lovely night’s sleep :)

Interview With a Zen Master — What Julian Daizan Skinner Taught Me About Overwhelm, Meditation and Awakening

Wed, 02 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0100

Not every day you get to sit down with your Zen teacher and ask him everything.

This is one of my most personal episodes — and one of my favourites. Julian Daizan Skinner is a Zen Master, and before I even get to ask my questions he takes the conversation somewhere extraordinary. Into awakening, into Reido — spontaneous yoga — and into some of my most transformative personal experiences on my journey out of overwhelm.

Then I get to ask the good stuff.

what to do if you just can't meditate — the answer will surprise you
Daizan's top tip for anyone stuck in the fog of overwhelm
the extraordinarily transformative practice of Reido — spontaneous yoga
what awakening actually means in everyday life
the dream of a tiny abandoned temple on a mountain in Japan

For anyone who suspects there's something deeper available — beyond the tools and the strategies and the productivity hacks. There is.

You can find out more about Daizan and his work at www.zenways.org

Follow him on Facebook, youtube and Instagram

And I highly recommend his Practical Zen books which can be purchased from Zenways.org or Amazon.

Episode 21: What’s your Kryptonite?

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0100

What’s your Kryptonite?

What’s the one big thing that’s keeping you stuck in overwhelm at the moment? The thing that feels that if it changed everything would be so much better.

Whatever is draining you, keeping you stuck in an endless repetitive loop in your head (especially at 4 am) is your kryptonite.

Identifying your kryptonite gives you power. Noticing how it feels in your body - the held patterns of tension, the bracing tension in your upper body waiting of the storm to pass and feeling of relief and ease you imagine you will feel when the kryptonite is dealt with - all these signals from your body are useful to notice.

So I invite you to drop into your body and notice. Notice how you feel. Because the overwhelm and the ease co-exist. You have the opportunity to notice the ease before the kryptonite is removed.

There will always be some kryptonite to drain you of energy and ease. Notice how yours is effecting you and see if you can allow more ease into your life.

Episode 19: Entreprepreneurs and Overwhelm with Paula Warman of The Landscaper's Circle

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0100

I love this episode!

Paula Warman is a business specialist and sales and growth strategist who helps landscapers, garden designers and other business owners in the landscaping industry. She runs three businesses whilst raising two children, renovating her home and still manages to fit in dog swimming.

Paula is a remarkable woman and also happens to be one of my ideal clients and a founder member of my Overwhelm to Ease membership.

We discuss working from and trying to home school during lockdown, the highs and lows of entrepreneurship and what drives her to want so much out of life.

She describes her experiences with overwhelm and - a complete joy for me to listen to - how working with me is helping her move from shouty Mum to Zen Mum and cope better with the overwhelm.

A great example of a strong woman who, like so many, is secretly feeling like they're surfing the verge of breakdown and yet outwardly holding it altogether, achieving highly and helping others.

Episode 16: Rebel - take back control of your attention

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0100

Rebel - take back control of your attention

Your attention is precious and yet you allow it to be hijacked constantly. Learning how to take back control of it takes practice. Honing your skills like a Jedi.

So, what to do? You need the skills that come from years of mindfulness mediation - the ability to watch your thoughts and feelings without judgement, gradually loosening the mind’s ability to hijack your attention with its nagging loop of doom, its incredible ability to time travel to travel through time and space before you’ve even realised you just lost more precious time...or all the time you dedicated to practising this mindfulness stuff…

If you don't have have time right now to spend 7 years in a cave or an hour each morning sitting on a cushion. Getting up at 5 am to meditate or practise yoga works well for some but for you, it just adds to your to-do list, your feelings of inadequacy and actually what you need more than anything is sleep and cutting that short is not what you need right now.....then try this instead.

Body mindfulness for you, today. Be kind to yourself. How you are in the world matters.

Your Whack-a-Mole To-Do List — How to Make It Work For You Instead of Against You

Wed, 17 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0100

New Description:

You know the feeling. You tick one thing off and three more appear. Your to-do list isn't supporting you — it's overwhelming you.

This episode is about shaking up your relationship with your to-do list entirely — using your body's wisdom to work out what actually matters, and making your list a tool for ease rather than a source of dread.

why your to-do list might be adding to your overwhelm rather than easing it
how to work out what's actually most important — by tuning in, not pushing through
why the whack-a-mole effect happens and how to break the cycle
making your list work for you rather than against you
a body-based approach to priorities that cuts through the noise

For anyone whose to-do list has become the enemy. It doesn't have to be.

Episode 11: Success versus health

Wed, 10 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0100

Success versus health

Success versus health is a nonsense - clearly its a nonsense! It’s like climbing to the top of a mountain and realising you’d left your intestines at the bottom.

And I wonder, as we continue to damage our health by pushing on through the overwhelm and exhaustion to achieve our goals, whether its a way to justify our success.

Like driving fast, overworking is an easy habit to get into.

Could you be kinder to yourself? How could you make today easier? Can you respond to your body’s need to move or rest, rather than pushing on through?

It can be hard to change the what - there’s stuff you probably have to do. But it’s very possible to change the how.

Episode 10: The problem with mindfulness

Wed, 03 Jun 2020 05:00:00 +0100

Mindfulness can help with your overwhelm or make it a whole lot worse.

Mindfulness is so much more than just being aware of the present moment. What if the present moment is awful?

Don’t add mindfulness to your already overloaded to-do list. Don’t make it yet another ‘should’.

And most of all - don’t make it a special occasion.

What's the Opposite of Overwhelm? Why the Answer is Ease — and How to Get There

Wed, 27 May 2020 04:00:00 +0100

Most people trying to escape overwhelm don't know what they're trying to get to. This episode answers that question.

The opposite of overwhelm is ease. Not emptiness, not absence of ambition, not doing less — but feeling at ease in your life, at home in your body. Able to respond rather than react. Able to aim and achieve rather than flail and just get through.

why knowing what you want instead of overwhelm changes everything
the opposite of overwhelm — and what ease actually feels like
feeling at home in your body as a foundation for everything else
moving from reaction to response, from flailing to flowing
tuning into your body to make the shift from overwhelm to ease

For anyone who knows what they don't want — and is ready to get clear on what they do.

Episode 8: Drop the judgement

Wed, 20 May 2020 04:00:00 +0100

How much are you judging yourself?

Your mind can be pretty judgy which can really add to your overwhelm. Catching the mind in its miserable judgy act - becoming aware of how often you are judging yourself is very powerful and freeing.

In this episode, I teach the first part of my body mindfulness method - Neutral Noticing - to allow you to start to gain an awareness of how much you judge yourself. It is enough to just notice - like the power of being really listened to.

Oh and bellies and cream teas.

the enormous cost of being stuck in just getting through the day
my personal story of exhaustion, burnout and recovery
tuning into your body to get out of your head
