This is for you if you stare at your to-do list and feel your chest tighten! You wrote everything down to feel more in control, but somehow you're drowning in your own handwriting. That master list that was supposed to save you? It's actually making everything worse.

Episode Highlights:

🎯 The Control Trap - Why your 47-item to-do list is creating fake urgency (and what actually matters)

🎯 The Master List Method - My simple Google Doc system that prevents overwhelm while keeping you focused

🎯 Productive vs. Feeling Productive - How to celebrate crossing off ONE thing instead of beating yourself up for not doing ten

After listening to this episode:

You'll stop rewriting the same overwhelming list over and over. Instead of feeling behind even when you're crushing it, you'll wake up knowing exactly what matters today. No more Sunday scaries about everything you "should" be doing.

Picture this: It's 6 PM and instead of stressing about your endless list, you're actually proud of what you accomplished. You can be fully present with your kids because work isn't spinning in your head. Your evenings become yours again.

One more thing:

Your productivity isn't measured by how much you cross off. It's about choosing to feel good about what you DID accomplish. One working mom told me she cleaned the office kitchen between therapy sessions and felt guilty it wasn't "enough." But who decided that wasn't enough?

You get to choose how productive you feel, regardless of what your list looks like.
