Episode 69: Mental Overload: When Life Feels Like Too Much to Carry

In this episode, Coach Del offers a candid, grounded reflection on mental overload—the kind that builds quietly when emotional, practical, relational, and identity-related stressors all compete for attention at once.

This isn’t a how-to episode or a checklist for coping. It’s an honest check-in about what it feels like to carry a lot in this season of life, and what self-awareness can reveal when our capacity begins to shift.

In this episode, we explore:

• What mental overload really looks like (and why it’s not a failure)
• How grief, loss, and unfinished emotional weight can linger quietly
• The mental load of health awareness, aging, and increased responsibilities
• Adjusting to life outside of corporate structure and wearing multiple hats
• Why juggling everything the way you once did may no longer be sustainable
• How awareness—not urgency—can be the beginning of healing

This conversation is an invitation to slow down, notice honestly, and release the pressure to “carry it all” the same way you always have.

✍🏽 Reflection Prompt:

What feels mentally heavy for me right now—and what might that weight be asking of me? No fixing. No solving. Just awareness.
