When everything feels like too much, even the smallest thing can feel like the breaking point.

In this episode, Maryam and Teryl talk about what overwhelm actually is — and why so many of us are living in a constant state of it. Overwhelm isn’t just having a full calendar or a long to-do list. It’s the feeling that everything is urgent, everything is loud, and your capacity to handle it all has run out.

Together, they explore the difference between being busy and being overloaded, what happens inside your nervous system when it believes there’s “too much,” and why pushing through often makes the feeling worse instead of better.

This conversation focuses on small, practical resets that help bring your system back to steadiness — from shrinking the scope of what you’re focusing on to lowering the invisible standards we place on ourselves.

Because sometimes the goal isn’t to solve everything.

It’s simply to come back to center and remember: you don’t have to carry everything at once.
