Description

Are you stuck in the overwhelm loop?

You wake up already behind, overfunction all day, and collapse at night whispering, “Something has to change.”

Here’s the truth: overwhelm isn’t about your calendar—it’s about the silent expectations you’ve been carrying for far too long.

In this coaching-style episode of Career Growth for Working Moms, Shannon walks you through a powerful shift: how to break free from the cycle of overwhelm without burning it all down.

💥 You’ll learn:

  • The 4-phase overwhelm loop that’s draining you.
  • How your leadership style shapes your overwhelm—and how to shift it.
  • Permission slips that interrupt burnout and rebuild your energy.
  • A powerful reflection exercise to move from pressure to peace.

You’ll meet four working moms—each with a different style—and discover yourself in their stories. You’ll leave this episode not just seen, but equipped with tools to lighten the load now.

🎯 Action steps:

  • Journal through Shannon’s 4 coaching prompts.
  • Pick one “good enough” win this week.
  • Post your permission slip where you’ll see it daily.

👯‍♀️ Share this with a fellow working mama stuck in survival mode—and remind her: she doesn’t have to do it all to be worthy.
