How to Get Things Done (Even When You’re Overwhelmed): Momentum, Motivation, and Self-Kindness for Everyday Life

Practical Strategies, Real-Life Stories, and Neuroscience Tips to Help You Beat Overwhelm, Build Momentum, and Embrace Progress—Even on the Hard Days

Hey friends,

Ever find yourself staring at a mile-long to-do list, feeling paralyzed, or just wishing you could do anything but the thing you’re supposed to do? This week’s episode of Heavy and Light is all about that messy, familiar feeling—and how to gently move through it.

On the podcast, I share:

  • Why motivation sometimes disappears and how it’s not your fault

  • 5 practical, compassionate ways to make “doing the things” easier (and more fulfilling)

  • Science-backed strategies for breaking free from overwhelm

  • The role of small routines, gentle self-talk, and celebrating tiny wins

  • Stories from my own life, plus why a little mess can be a source of wisdom and growth

Whether you’re feeling stuck, spinning your wheels, or just want to hear some real talk on productivity (without the shame), I invite you to listen, reflect, and maybe even take a first step—whatever that looks like for you today.
