Overwhelmed but Optimistic- Learning to Manage Stress Before It Manages You
Episode description
If you’re watching the video version of this, you can probably tell—I’m in the thick of it. No makeup, no polished setup, just me showing up as is because sometimes, work-life balance doesn’t look pretty.
A few weeks ago, I took on a new property, and while I knew it would be a challenge, I can feel the burnout creeping in. I’m being pulled in every direction—by residents, my team, and my own high standards. And while I love a good challenge, I also know how easy it is to fall back into old patterns when stress takes over.
So in this episode, I’m sharing:
✅ The small but powerful habits I’m using to stay grounded
✅ How to create non-negotiables that actually stick (without burning yourself out even more)
✅ Why self-care doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming
✅ The mindset shifts that helped me recover from past burnout—and why I’m doing things differently this time
If you’re feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or just want to be proactive about avoiding burnout, this one’s for you. And if you’re currently in a good place? Now’s the time to build the habits that will keep you steady before life inevitably gets chaotic again.
