Feeling overwhelmed because life is busy? In this episode, I break down why busy isn’t the problem—and why overwhelm shows up even on days when everything technically “gets done.”

You’ll learn the first step of the MAP Method: Move Back—the mindset shift that helps you step out of emotional reactivity and back into your role as the Mentor or Maker your kids actually need.
This shift alone helps you ditch the spiral of nagging, lecturing, or snapping so you can navigate chaos with more clarity and confidence.

In this episode:

• Why busy ≠ overwhelmed
  
• The real cause of mom-overwhelm (hint: it’s internal, not your schedule)
  
• How Move Back instantly gives you direction when emotions spike
  
• What it means to parent as a Mentor vs a Maker
  
• The foundation for trusting yourself again as a mom
  

If you’ve ever crashed on the couch at the end of the day and wondered, “Why did today feel so good when it was just as busy as yesterday?”—this episode explains exactly why.
