Mastering Midlife Podcast

info_outlineWhen you encounter the word “overwhelm,” what are the things that immediately come to your mind? Your kids? Work? Or the stream of news about COVID-19? What if I told you that overwhelm isn’t caused by something external to you?

I also underscore the importance of thinking about how we relate with and see the world and share some tools and practices that can help you manage stress and overwhelm.
“You get overwhelmed not because you’re not good at time management, but because you outsize the consequences of all the things you’re supposed to do.” - Mark Silverman
