Overwhelmed and Underqualified (Or So Your Brain Says…) - with Dr. Laurie Bruce

Ever feel like your brain has 47 tabs open... and none of them are loading? In this episode, we’re digging into the chaos of modern-day overwhelm, how perfectionism sneaks onto your to-do list, and why your future-focused thinking might be making you miserable. We’ll show you how to quiet the noise, close a few mental tabs, and find actual peace—without needing a productivity app or a personality transplant.

🎙️Today we’re diving into something most of us carry quietly but constantly: overwhelm. Whether it’s the pressure of too many choices, the belief that we’re not capable, or the mind-numbing loop of “what if” thinking, overwhelm can leave us feeling stuck and burned out.

But here’s the truth—overwhelm isn’t just about what’s happening around us. It’s about what’s happening within us.

🔍In this episode, we’ll explore:

✔️The hidden mental traps that fuel overwhelm
✔️How mindfulness can shift your perspective in real time
✔️Why burnout often ties back to core beliefs like “I’m not enough”
✔️How perfectionism might be quietly running the show
✔️Two underrated tools: narrowing your choices + expanding your time
✔️Tangible ways to calm the chaos and take back control—without needing to do more
