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.

Episode 35: How to Beat the Overwhelm with Danni Wade: practical tips & insights from one very busy woman
Beat the Overwhelm with Danni Wade
This episode is packed full of practical ways to manage and reduce overwhelm.
Danni is a wife and mum to 2 girls, works full-time as a Senior Sales Exec, a property investor, an SSAS trustee as well as being a goal mapping & productivity coach.
Danni tells her own adventure in overwhelm admitting that she never thought the overwhelm would tip her into burnout. “I thought I’ve got this, I can do this and I would just keep pushing myself”
Her reflections on her experience with burnout are well worth a listen (like my journey it came as a shock).
So she gets it… life can feel completely overwhelming sometimes.
Danni has spent years investing in herself, with a strong focus on self-development, which led her to discover her biggest passion… which is helping people optimise themselves & realise their potential.
Danni's approach consists of a healthy dose of perspective, focusing on what you can control, raising levels of self-awareness and breaking things down into manageable chunks.
