You’re doing everything. You’re checking the boxes. Running the errands. Juggling the work, the kids, the laundry, the texts, the emails.

You are not sitting still—like, ever.

And yet… you still feel like you’re drowning.

That low hum of anxiety? It’s there before your feet hit the floor. That weight in your chest? It follows you through the day.

And when your head finally hits the pillow, it whispers: “You didn’t do enough.”

If that’s you? You are not alone. And listen carefully:

You are not broken. You are not lazy. You are not failing.

You are overwhelmed. You are overextended. And you are likely multitasking your way into burnout.

If you are feeling this right now, if you are shaking your head in agreement, I want you to HEAR my tell you… ...And That’s Okay.

ACTION STEPS:

  1. Take 90-second breath breaks to pause and check in.
  2. Choose just ONE task and give it your full focus.
  3. Clear one small physical space.
  4. Write down 3 things you completed today.
  5. Reset before returning to your task.
