Tue Feb 03 2026
Hi mama,
Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today!
In today’s episode, we’re talking about what’s really happening in your brain and body when stress is high… and how to find clarity without forcing yourself to “get it together.”
✨ In this episode, we cover:
Why stress and anxiety make everything feel equally important
The difference between urgent and important (and why stress blurs the line)
Why calm has to come before clarity
Simple grounding questions to help you identify what truly matters today
How to separate real problems from mental noise
Using non-negotiables to anchor your decisions when life feels heavy
A powerful “zoom-out” test to regain perspective
Why what truly matters is often quiet… not loud or urgent
🌿 This episode is for the mom who:
Feels overwhelmed and on edge
Struggles to prioritize when everything feels important
Wants to protect her energy and mental health
Needs permission to slow down and breathe
You don’t need perfect clarity.
You don’t need to solve everything today.
You just need one steady truth to come back to… especially when life feels loud.
