About this episode
This episode discusses how feelings of overwhelm stem from expectations rather than a busy schedule.
This Shop Talk gets into a hard truth: you don’t feel overwhelmed because your schedule is full—you feel overwhelmed because of expectations. We unpack why the very thing many are cutting—service and connection—might actually be the thing holding your life together.
