Feeling overwhelmed because life is busy? In this episode, I break down why busy isn’t the problem—and why overwhelm shows up even on days when everything technically “gets done.”
You’ll learn the first step of the MAP Method: Move Back—the mindset shift that helps you step out of emotional reactivity and back into your role as the Mentor or Maker your kids actually need. This shift alone helps you ditch the spiral of nagging, lecturing, or snapping so you can navigate chaos with more clarity and confidence.
In this episode:
- Why busy ≠ overwhelmed
- The real cause of mom-overwhelm (hint: it’s internal, not your schedule)
- How Move Back instantly gives you direction when emotions spike
- What it means to parent as a Mentor vs a Maker
- The foundation for trusting yourself again as a mom
If you’ve ever crashed on the couch at the end of the day and wondered, “Why did today feel so good when it was just as busy as yesterday?”—this episode explains exactly why.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
