1KHO 652: Being Overwhelmed Is Not a Personal Failure | KC Davis, How to Keep House While Drowning
Description
If you’ve ever looked around your house, your calendar, or your marriage and thought, Why is this so hard for me?—this conversation is for you.
In this episode, Ginny Yurich talks with licensed therapist and Struggle Care founder KC Davis about why overwhelm isn’t a character flaw, a lack of discipline, or a sign you’re doing life wrong. KC names the invisible mental load of daily living—meals, laundry, cleaning, caregiving, relationships—and explains why these repetitive responsibilities were never meant to be proof of your worth.
Together, Ginny and KC explore practical, compassionate ways to lower that load without adding shame. From reframing household work as morally neutral, to letting go of “just clean as you go,” to rethinking fairness in marriages and families, this episode offers language and tools that actually help. KC shares gentle strategies for building momentum when you’re stuck, wisdom for dividing labor and rest more honestly, and a powerful reminder that community is built through realness and not perfection. This is an episode to save, share, and return to when you need permission to stop measuring your life by impossible standards.
