Stressed, Exhausted, and One Dirty Dish Away from a Meltdown? Let’s Fix That
Ever feel like life is one long to-do list, and you’re permanently running on empty? Yup, me too.
The mental load, the laundry, the constant What’s for dinner?—it’s enough to make even the most patient among us snap. But what if you could break free from the overwhelm without quitting your life and moving to a remote island? (Although, that does sound tempting.)
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Jenna Hermans, author of Chaos to Calm: 5 Ways Busy Parents Can Break Free from Overwhelm, and a former Queen of Chaos who figured out how to take control of the madness (without ditching her family).
She’s sharing her five pillars for creating calm, from tiny habits that actually make a difference to setting boundaries like a boss.
We’re talking:
✔️ How to set boundaries without the guilt trip
✔️ The power of micro-habits (because baby steps still get you there)
✔️ Why meal planning doesn’t have to suck
✔️ How to stop spiraling when life throws you curveballs
Plus, Jenna spills her favorite stress-busting tips for busy women, so you can stop feeling like you’re drowning in crumbs, dishes, and expectations. If you’re ready to reclaim your calm, have a listen.
