Hey mama, take a breath.

Overwhelm isn’t a time problem—it’s a clarity problem. In this episode, Shannon gets real about the quiet ways we slip into survival mode (even when we’re “doing everything right”) and the small shifts that buy back calm, presence, and peace.

What You’ll Learn
✅ Why overwhelm happens (even to high performers) and how to spot it before it swallows you
✅ The Four Fog Triggers keeping you stuck
Three calm-creating shifts you can implement this week
✅ How your leadership style (Boss Lady, Charismatic Queen, Heart-Centered Guide, Visionary Brainiac) finds its own path back to calm

Mini Frameworks & Scripts
➡️ Reframe for Overcommitment: “Can I do it… or am I called to do it?”
➡️ Interrupt Overprocessing: Say aloud → “That’s enough thinking. Now I choose peace.” Then take one tiny action.
➡️ Boundary in the Moment: “I reserve evenings for family—I’ll handle this first thing tomorrow.”
➡️ Presence Cue: One breath before meetings (or the kitchen): “I’m here now.”

Try This Week
• Rearrange one day for energy, not just time (don’t stack two drains back-to-back).
• Let one thing be good enough (send the email, leave the slide, accept the lunch your partner packs).
• Define today’s calm leadership move (say no once, eat lunch away from your desk, leave five minutes early).

Bottom line: You don’t need a bigger to-do list—you need better alignment. Peace isn’t a pause in the chaos; it’s how you move through it. 💛
