#192| How Self-Compassion Help You Ditch Overwhelm: Overwhelm, Productivity, Time Management & People Pleasing
Description
Do you ever catch yourself saying things like “I should have this figured out by now” or “I’m just terrible at this”? What if those thoughts are the real reason you’re feeling so drained and overwhelmed?
In this episode, Michelle reveals how negative self-talk quietly magnifies stress for working women and keeps them trapped in a cycle of exhaustion and guilt. You’ll discover what self-compassion actually means—and why it’s not indulgent or lazy, but the foundation of real emotional resilience and calm productivity.
In this episode, you will:
- Learn a simple three-step framework (mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness) to interrupt negative self-talk in the moment.
- Understand how treating yourself like a trusted friend shifts your mindset and restores confidence.
- Discover how small changes in your inner dialogue can dramatically lighten your stress and help you show up more fully—at work and at home.
Press play now to learn how to silence your inner critic, build emotional resilience, and finally give yourself the compassion you deserve.
