210. The Overwhelm Barrier: What’s Really Stopping You (Part 1)

Do you feel stuck when thinking about what to do next? Whether it’s a career change, a business idea or sharing your writing online?

This episode explores what I call The Overwhelm Barrier: that moment of practical paralysis that sets in right after a bold new dream is born. Thoughts like:

• Where do I even start?
• How do I do it right?
• I can’t waste time… there’s so much to do!

Sound familiar? In this first part of the series, we dive into the emotional weight of pressure. I’ll walk you through four common types of pressure that feed the overwhelm and quietly sabotage your projects:

• Time pressure
• Performance pressure
• Financial pressure
• Fear of judgment

Each one comes with concrete examples, fresh perspectives, and practical tools to help you figure out your next steps and move toward your meaningful goals with more calm, clarity and confidence.
