The Moment I Stopped Letting Overwhelm Run My Life (And Found My Inner GPS)

It started with a single thought that jolted me out of my perfectionism prison: “That would be so nice. I’d love to have time to relax.”

I was burned out. My adrenals were nearly shot. My doctors were running tests for a serious illness, only to finally name the real culprit: Burnout. I was a high-achieving woman whose inner drive had become a weapon that was interfering with my own health and happiness.

That one simple thought—the desire for simple relaxation—was the first sign that my old systems weren’t working. It was the whisper of my soul’s intuition trying to break through the noise. That thought got my attention. I got curious about what taking care of myself and truly relaxing actually looked like.

Then I saw the next sign. And the next. I was learning to listen to the subtle cues that my heart, soul, body, mind, and energy were giving me. I had found my Inner GPS! Once I leaned into it and made those simple yet crucial shifts, life got so much easier and way more fun.

The First Step: Your Clarity Map

I created the quick-to-take quiz, The Overwhelmed Woman’s Inner GPS: Find Your Path to Peace, because your journey out of overwhelm needs a map. Just like me, you need to notice your first sign.

This quiz is designed to help you pinpoint the exact Overwhelm Archetype that is holding you back. It answers the question, “Why am I stuck?”

After you take the quiz, you’ll receive special emails from me outlining the 3 simple shifts I made—and that I now help my clients make—to move away from chronic overwhelm and into sustainable peace.

My Commitment to Your Clarity

My client Jen perfectly sums up the power of this shift. She says: “Coach Wendy’s ability to challenge me to think differently has been invaluable. This shift in mindset has been incredibly empowering. The tangible changes I’ve experienced are significant—I feel far less weighed down by life’s demands.”

If you’re ready to stop the guesswork and finally reclaim your time, space, and peace, your first moment of clarity is just one click away.

Keep an Eye out Next Time You Visit Your Aging Parent

Since the holidays, have you been thinking and wondering about your aging parent?

Did you notice something that is bothering you? Like the unwashed dishes in the sink. Or maybe how your parent is just a little more withdrawn and quiet than they used to be.

There are a few signs to look out for when you visit your aging parent, 10 to be exact, and I’ve attached a PDF that covers them all right here. 10 Signs to Know When It’s Time to Care for Your Aging Parent.

Maybe you aren’t wondering at all and you know for a fact that your parent needs assistance. What do you do next?

It all begins with a conversation. With your parent(s), if possible. And you can also include their friends and neighbors – asking them what they’ve noticed. It can also include your family.

You can start the difficult conversation out by saying something like, “I have something that I’d like to talk with you about …….. can we talk?” If that person says yes, then you can say: 

I feel (say what you are feeling)

I need (say what you need)

Then ask them – what do you need. And get quiet. Listen.

Give it a try and let us know in the comments how it goes!
