  • #239| Why Trying Harder Is Making Your Stress & Overwhelm Worse (And What To Do Instead): Overwhelm, Productivity, Time Management & People Pleasing
    Apr 6 2026

    Are you doing everything “right” with your health—but still feel exhausted, anxious, and stuck?

    My guest today, personal trainer and hormone health coach Molly McNamee, knows all about that, because she's lived it. If you’re an overwhelmed woman juggling work, life, and wellness, this episode uncovers the hidden reason your efforts aren’t paying off—chronic stress. Even when you’re eating well and exercising, elevated cortisol can block weight loss, drain your energy, and keep your body stuck in survival mode.

    In this episode, you will:

    • Understand what cortisol actually is and how it impacts your metabolism, mood, and energy
    • Learn simple, realistic ways to lower stress hormones in just minutes a day
    • Discover why doing less (not more) may be the key to finally seeing results

    Press play now to learn how to calm your body, boost your energy, and start seeing results without adding more to your already full plate.

  • #238| Beat Overwhelm By Deciding What's Essential: Overwhelm, Productivity, Time Management & People Pleasing
    Apr 2 2026

    What if the real reason you feel overwhelmed isn’t your workload—but your inability to say no to things that aren't essential?

    If you’re constantly busy but still feel behind, this episode, a review of Essentialism by Greg McKeown, will hit home. Most working women are told to manage their time better or try new productivity hacks, but the real issue is prioritizing what actually matters. Without that clarity, your to-do list keeps growing while your energy drains.

    In this episode, you will:

    • Learn how to identify the small percentage of tasks that truly move the needle in your work and life
    • Discover a simple “pause” technique that helps you stop overcommitting instantly
    • Understand how to eliminate nonessential tasks without guilt and make your priorities easier to follow through on

    Press play now to learn how doing less can finally help you feel calmer, more in control, and actually ahead.
