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 123: The Power of Mini Adventures
You know all those adventures you're postponing?
Like trekking in Nepal
A weekend at Bedruthan Spa
Kayaking the River Wye
The things you worked really hard to be able to have the money to do
Yes, those things that are somewhere hidden by your current 'temporary' overwhelm
The current 'temporary' overwhelm that seems to be hanging around longer than expected
The kind of life-crushing overwhelm that means you never get around to repotting that plant let alone organise that adventure you meant to have had by now!
You still want those things?
You miss that fun, silly, adventuress!!
You want her back?!
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.
