218. From Carrying Everything in Your Head to Finally Letting the Mental Load Go (Part 1)

February 3
18 mins

Episode Description

Your body is exhausted, but your brain won’t stop. You lie down at night and suddenly you’re replaying everything you did today, everything you didn’t do, who you forgot to respond to, what your kids need, and what might fall apart if you stop thinking about it for even a second.

This episode is Part 1 of the Beyond Awareness series, where we look at why knowing what to do isn’t the problem. And why awareness alone hasn’t been enough to create real change.

This isn’t a time-management issue. It’s not a discipline issue. And it’s not something another planner or system will fix.

In this episode, I walk you through:

  1. Why holding everything in your head feels like responsibility, even when it’s costing you peace
  2. The hidden beliefs that keep your brain “on” all the time
  3. Why solutions like time-blocking, hiring help, or organization systems don’t stick
  4. What actually has to shift for the mental load to get lighter

On Thursday, we’ll continue this work with a strategic journaling episode to help you uncover the specific belief that’s running your mental load, so you’re not just aware of it, but able to release it.
