Summary
This episode introduces a unique framework of seven "P" strategies designed to address different types of overwhelm, moving beyond generic solutions. Kendra explores how to identify the specific nature of your overwhelmed state—whether situational, repetitive, emotional, or future-oriented—and apply the appropriate "P" (Pivot, Problem Solve, Pause, Pray, Play, Plan, Pep Talk) to find clarity and calm. It provides actionable advice and connects to previous episodes for deeper dives into each strategy, offering a compassionate and practical approach to managing life's pressures.Episode description
When you feel overwhelmed without knowing what to do, the overwhelming feeling stays big and might get bigger which then feels like a problem. So here you are, overwhelmed, unsure of what to do about it; the feeling gets bigger, the problem, even though it’s unnamed, also gets bigger, and so you start throwing big solutions at an unnamed problem that don’t work, which then causes you to feel even more overwhelmed.
Instead, today I want to share with you seven ways to meet overwhelm.
