  • 50 | Drowning in Overwhelm? The Reset Working Moms Need to Take Back Time + Energy Without Quitting Everything
    2025/09/05

    Drowning in overwhelm? 😩 You’re not alone.

    👉 Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of everything — work, parenting, home, relationships — and still feel like you’re falling behind?

    👉 Are you exhausted from trying to “do it all” but terrified that the only way out is burning it all down?

    👉 Do you secretly wonder if there’s a way to break free without quitting your job, abandoning your dreams, or letting everyone down?

    In this episode of Career Growth for Working Moms, Shannon breaks down the real roots of overwhelm (it’s not just your calendar), the 4 hidden patterns keeping you stuck, and the reset shifts that help working moms take back time, energy, and peace.


    What You’ll Learn:
    ✔️ The four roots of overwhelm (and which one is draining you most)
    ✔️ How each leadership style experiences burnout differently — and the reset that works best
    ✔️ A simple “Break the Cycle Blueprint” you can start today
    ✔️ Why alignment, not productivity hacks, is the key to freedom
    ✔️ How to create small rituals that protect your peace, without burning everything down


    “Overwhelm isn’t about how much is on your plate — it’s about how much of what drains you versus how much of what sustains you.” – Shannon Fox


    Your Reset Action Step:
    Clear one hour this week.
    Cancel a non-essential meeting, say no to one request, or drop one task. Protect that hour as your reset space — no guilt, no shame, just breathing room.


    🎯 If you’re ready for:
    ✨ Less overwhelm
    ✨ Strengths-based leadership that feels sustainable
    ✨ A career and family life that actually supports you

    👉 Press play now and let this be your reset.

    👉 Work more hours but miss the soccer game?
    👉 Be present with your kids but feel stressed every time you swipe your card?
    👉 Wonder if balance is even possible without burning out?

    If this feels familiar, you’re not alone—and it’s a false choice.

    ✔️ Practical financial + time strategies to create more breathing room
    ✔️ A simple visualization to help you define your version of enough


    🌟 Mindset Shifts for Each Leadership Style

    • Charismatic Queen → Overcommits to opportunities for visibility or income.
      Reset: Ask, “Is this aligned with both my family and financial goals?”
    • Heart-Centered Guide → Undercharges out of fear it’s selfish.
