A Simple Solution to Overwhelm

Published 2 months ago • 4 min read

How are you feeling today?

Me: less overwhelmed, having fun watching Survivor, enjoying warm days.

I have a LOT going on. So last week I knuckled down to work on feeling less overwhelmed:

I got organized by sorting my to-do items by project and then ranking my priorities. It really helps me feel less overwhelmed, more grounded, and more clear-minded so I know where to start.

(This is a process we do in the Digital Organization Membership, which will open again soon!)

Luckily, this was a day before my colleague asked me to start a fundraiser to help Aminata, a young woman in Sierra Leone, go to college. It's imperative I did the prep before so I had the capacity to fit that in.

Everything I do is for future me. If I don't try to do this fundraiser, I know she'll regret it. So it's important I clear the noise and know my real priorities.

Maybe this is something that will simplify things for you as well.

Wishing you a good week.

Maybe I'll see you for the Tarot party charity event for Aminata on March 8 :)

And you might also like the podcast I recorded for you this week! Deletion is HOT.

International Women's Day Charity Fundraiser:


Aminata lives in Sierra Leone. When her mother died, she began struggling to pay her university fee.

It’s so rare for women there to go to college so dropping out of the pharmacy program at the country’s best medical school is just too tragic...

But we aren't going to let that happen!

We are fundraising for her! And we now have 40% of her fees.

To raise more, join us for a...

Tarot Party: Clarity for Charity happening online March 8 at 7-9 PM EST.

Does this sound like you?

You want more authenticity in how you BE, how you write your book or content, how you share, or how you promote your business.

You want to WRITE ✍️ but it's feeling hard.

You want to heal the pain or fear in your stories so you can be more yourself. Less fear. More flow.

You want writing to feel more fun and authentic. You want to feel good, you want to feel proud of what you have written.

You want someone to have your back as you try to write and share. Someone nonjudgmental but knowledgable.

You feel overwhelmed or discouraged.

You feel like at the end of the day, your mental health and stress level is really key, so you want the kind of help that will help you relax, not stress you more.

You want to feel held and understood in the writing process.

You need a loving space to let yourself unfurl so you can finally get authentic, good writing out into the world to the people who need to hear it.

You know that more self-acceptance, more wholeness, more self-celebration, and confidence can only be a good thing.

​Connecting with yourself on a deeper level builds up your resilience, and you know that you can’t have too much of that.

And you can even use your writing to market your business, so you are ready to take it up a notch.

How goes it? It's been a while since I emailed. Last week I was silent-- I was combing through things in storage and was under a deadline. Do you have a mountain of things in storage? What about in your mind? What about on your todo list? Notebooks and documents spilling everywhere? When you face a mountain of things you need to deal with, what do you do? I tend to get overwhelmed easily and go into fight or flight. It's times like those where I need to breathe, maybe take a break or a walk....

How are you doing? Is there anything you are celebrating? Let me say first-- I’m riding high because my second business, which I acquired in January, has celebrated a big milestone. Background: My grandfather started a business 50 years ago, a magazine about banjos, it passed to my dad and now it's mine. After a LOT of work behind the scenes, I finally was able to announce that the business is open (and not closing, which almost happened). A lot of people are celebrating and supporting. So...

I have some news. I hope you are doing okay, as I mentioned last week, my husband had a cold and I was not far behind. I ended up getting sick, and I am almost better. Today, I'd planned to continue sharing, in my latest vein on the topic of writing and digital organization of your words and how life changing it can be. But something got in the way of writing: And it wasn't my physical symptoms that kept me from writing this as planned. It was an ailment of the heart that has afflicted me for...
