So Much More
Our purpose for creating our podcast So Much More is to speak about real-life experiences around parenting, womanhood, being a wife, working inside and outside of the home, and so much more! There are so many elements that we are working through each day as women, and top that off with hormones, diet culture, body image culture, constant comparisons of ourselves to others, perceived judgment, and so many opinions and ways of living life among all of us – that sometimes we need to just sit down and have the conversation - we are all different but the same. We all have egos, we all have insecurities, and good days and bad days. We all have struggles and times when we feel defeated and alone. So Much More is meant to talk about the real experiences, the challenges we face, and how we get through those by practicing gratitude and staying positive through it all! To keep our perceptions of others and ourselves clear enough to see the good more than the bad.

Overwhelm & Burnout
Today's episode is a long one because we are talking about overwhelm and burnout, which seems to be something that is affecting so many of us in the world right now. The feeling of overwhelm comes from our desire to do it all, complete all the tasks, and look good doing it! These expectations are often unrealistic for what we can truly divide ourselves into doing, during the day. We only have so much energy and time to allocate to each task, that is where prioritizing is essential. A lot of the time these tasks are sitting in our heads; it is chaotic and disorganized. When we are thinking about what we want to achieve in a day, week, or month, it is usually a long list of so many things, from completing work tasks to meal prepping, spending more time with family, budgeting our money, etc. When we don't organize these thoughts and we allow ourselves to believe that we have to have everything completed on that day or that week, to feel accomplished, we become overwhelmed. When we push ourselves to to do everything at once to feel accomplished, while also getting pulled by everyday life situations we can't control, we get burned out! That is what we talk about today. We also talk about ways to cope and get through the overwhelm without becoming burned-out.
