Episode 70: The Tiger and the Strawberry - dealing with uncomfortable feelings Artwork

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:
1. Stop pushing through overwhelm.
2. Redefine success on your own terms.
3. Reclaim your time, energy, and life.
