438. Overwhelm Addiction: Why You Might Be Hooked on Chaos and How It's Sabotaging Your Million-Dollar Potential

 
 
 
 
 

You could be addicted without even knowing it.

If you’re always busy and always over capacity, you may be addicted to overwhelm. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you seek to create chaos, but rather it’s a reflection of how your nervous system interprets urgency and intensity.

I’m exploring how and why women often get stuck in this pattern of overwhelm and how it actually gets in the way of achievement today. I’ll also share three tips for shifting away from overwhelm so you can find true, long-lasting success.

In this episode, you will learn about:

  • How ease can actually feel uncomfortable for a brain that’s familiar with chaos.

  • Why rest might make you feel guilty (even when you really need it).

  • What happens when overwhelm becomes your solution and your identity.

  • Why “just doing less” isn’t the answer to breaking free.

  • What’s happening to your body when you’re in survival mode.

  • Why you might be choosing chaos over clarity without even realizing it.

  • How a calm, regulated nervous system allows your business to mature.

  • What happens when you stop equating pressure with progress.
