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 65: Settle back into the moment
We miss so much by rushing on past moments, always on to the next things to do or see or be.
As I bridge the gap between launching my new programme 'Get Your Life Back' and starting working with those lovely people who joined, this quote from Joseph Goldstein came back to support me:
"There is great value in slowing down all our activities. No hurry. No place to go. Nothing else to do but just a settling back into the moment."
My default setting was always to be on to the next thing as I loved achieving things and wanted to live life to the full.
I still do, but have learnt that my life is fuller when I remember to settle back into the moment.
