Episode 151: It’s not you - it’s overwhelm

In a gently rebellious first episode of the year I read a few pages from my book to remind you to resist the pushy self-improvement start to the year.

So, are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin…

Welcome to the Overwhelm is Optional podcast where each week we find ways to gently rebel against the nonsense that overwhelm and exhaustion are just the price you pay to have the life you want. 

Heidi Marke is a Coach, Teacher, Podcaster & Author

Having managed to embarrassingly and painfully burn out losing her once-loved and hard-worked-for career, confidence, health and financial stability - whilst prioritizing her selfcare (yes, really!) she now quietly leads The Gentle Rebellion - inviting you to gently, but firmly, rebel against the idea that to have the life you want you to have to push through overwhelm and exhaustion. You don’t.
