The Real Reason You're Overwhelmed (And It’s Not What You Think)
In this episode, we dive deep into the feeling of overwhelm and explore the real reasons behind it—reasons that might surprise you. The host shares a personal journey of struggling with the weight of responsibilities, the pressure of multiple labels from a therapist, and an overwhelming need to gather information to find a solution. Despite attempting to lighten the load by letting go of jobs and commitments, the feeling of overwhelm persisted.
The turning point came when the host realized the true source of their overwhelm: life felt completely out of control.

Feeling Lost? The Hidden Reasons Behind Our Struggles
In this episode, we dive into a deeply personal story of feeling lost in life, even when everything seems to be going well on the surface. Our host shares her journey of leaving a teaching career in 2014 and the identity crisis that followed. Despite having what appeared to be the perfect life—a loving family, a stable job, and financial security—she felt completely unfulfilled.
The episode covers three main reasons for feeling lost:
Fear of Change – Our host was terrified of leaving the teaching career she'd dreamed of since childhood, even though she had many options. The comfort of stability made it difficult to consider other possibilities.
Listening to Others Over Yourself – The pressure to meet other people’s expectations—such as financial stability and career success—outweighed her own desires and led her to ignore her true needs and feelings.
Losing Your Identity – With her entire identity wrapped up in being a teacher, letting go of that role made her question who she really was. This internal struggle was the deepest source of her feelings of being lost.
As the episode unfolds, the host reveals the personal toll this period of her life took, from feeling like a failure to questioning her purpose. But this awareness is the first step in the journey to healing and self-discovery.
