Have you ever felt paralyzed by the sheer amount of tasks in front of you, or felt your mind spinning in circles as it processes everything you have to do but somehow can't get started? That, my friend, is the state of overwhelm, and it's a beast we all grapple with. In today's riveting discussion, we're peeling back the layers of this daunting phenomena, examining its various forms and the triggers that set it off. We'll be confronting the obstacles that tech, time, and money often present, and breaking down our mindset, instant gratification desires, fear of being salesy, and our habit to overthink - all factors contributing to the overwhelming sensation. 

We're not just identifying the problem, though. We're providing viable solutions to help you regain control and find footing on solid ground again. Later in our chat, we shift gears to understand and manage overwhelm, sharing ways to catch early signs and harness simple tools like deep breaths, meditation apps, and to-do list pads. We delve into the cathartic power of journaling as a way to process overwhelm. For the neurodivergent entrepreneurs among us, we've got insightful advice and handy resources on managing overwhelm while navigating the sea of entrepreneurship. By the time we wrap up, you'll have a toolbox full of strategies to identify and manage overwhelm, and even prevent it from spiralling into burnout. So, let's lock overwhelm in a box and throw away the key, together!
