3.2 Digging Out of Overwhelm: When Capacity Feels Like a Myth

In this week’s episode, Laura and Claire get real about what it looks like when life tips from busy to buried. Laura confesses to nearly ending up in Southwest Airlines jail after a full-blown airport meltdown, while Claire shares her own spiral into chaos courtesy of a nightmare insurance claim.Together, they unpack why overwhelm sneaks in even when everything looks “fine,” how to recognize when your tank’s actually empty, and why doing hard things (like trail running, emotional honesty, or even saying “no”) can stretch your capacity in the best ways.Because sometimes the only way to handle life’s turbulence is to laugh, lace up, and start running toward the mountain—one dramatic story at a time.
