Ever feel like you’re juggling flaming swords on a tightrope over a pit of to-do lists?
Whether it's surprise invoices, deadline-pinging texts, or a mind that spirals straight to worst-case scenario mode… this episode is for the high-achiever who's ever found herself red-faced and frozen mid-Zoom call, wondering, “How am I going to pull all this off?”
Join Alex and Carol for a raw, practical, and encouraging conversation about what really happens in our minds and bodies when overwhelm hits—and what to do about it.
💭 We’re talking about how our brains are wired to default to the familiar—even if the familiar is chaos and burnout—and how to interrupt that pattern in real-time with three powerful words:
👉 It. Is. Done.
This isn’t about toxic positivity. It’s about:
- Creating a somatic and strategic shift when your brain wants to spiral.
- Moving from “how will I do this?” to “what’s my next best step?”
- Tapping into support—whether that’s your community, your tech (hello, ChatGPT), or your own inner wisdom.
Inside the episode:
🔹 Carol opens with a vivid picture of a full-on overwhelm moment—tight chest, buzzing phone, deadlines converging—and how to reset.
🔹 Alex shares her own real-life examples: juggling a rebrand, an international move, and a book launch… all at once. Spoiler: she didn’t crumble, and you don’t have to either.
🔹 The science behind why a simple declaration like “it is done” can physiologically shift your nervous system and activate your brain’s reticular activating system (RAS).
🔹 Micro moves that create massive momentum: 15-minute sprints, simple DMs, or putting away 3 toys at a time (yes, even that counts).
🔹 The power of asking for help. Whether it’s a five-minute coaching voice note, a co-working buddy, or just knowing you’re not doing this alone—support changes everything.
💡 This episode is a must-listen if you're:
- A high-performing woman leader secretly shouldering it all
- On the verge of burnout and need an anchor
- Craving a way to show up with conviction, clarity, and calm—even in the chaos
We leave you with three things to take with you:
- Declare “It is done” as your pattern interrupt.
- Break it down into one small, doable step (even if it’s just writing one sentence).
- Say it out loud. Embody the trust that the path is unfolding—one moment, one breath, one action at a time
