What to Do When Overwhelm Derails Your Momentum
Ever find yourself ignoring your to-do list, reaching for the remote, and wondering why you can’t just do the thing you said you’d do?
You’re not lazy, you’re probably overwhelmed, a word I have heard countless times by my clients and colleagues.
In this episode, I’m sharing what emotional flooding actually is, why it happens, and how to reset your nervous system when your brain feels maxed out.
These aren’t vague mindset tips; they’re tangible, physical actions you can take to calm your body and regain control of your day.

- What emotional flooding is and how it hijacks your focus
- A 3-step toolkit to reset your brain and restore calm
- Why your prefrontal cortex goes offline during stress
- How to prevent overwhelm by managing your energy
- The role of simple habits like breathing, journaling, and setting boundaries
