Overwhelm is Optional
- This is the podcast for big-hearted, highly driven professionals who want their life back.
- Each week, we explore ways to gently rebel against the idea that overwhelm and exhaustion are just the price you pay for success. You don’t have to push through—it’s time to work with ease, reclaim your energy, and create the life you want.
- 💡 Meet Heidi Marke
I’m Heidi, a Coach, Teacher, Podcaster, and Author. Having painfully burned out—losing my career, confidence, health, and financial stability—I discovered a better way. Now, I quietly lead The Gentle Rebellion, helping you to:- Stop pushing through overwhelm.
- Redefine success on your own terms.
- Reclaim your time, energy, and life.

So excited to interview the awesome Emily Hughes of parentguidetogcse.com!
Emily's book is released today (1st July 2020) and if you're a parent of a child about to go into Year 9, 10 or 11 in the UK then this podcast is for you.
Or if you're a teacher or a parent of a Year 12 or 13 or if you want to hear about how Emily turned her life into one where she now thrives then tune in and listen now.
As a very experienced and knowledgeable teacher, Emily talks about her own adventures with overwhelm and how she rebuilt her life after some difficult times, regaining her health and pouring her passion for teaching into creating a membership that supports parents through the overwhelm of the GCSE years.
There is so much living to be had on the other side of overwhelm!
