Episode #79 You’re Not Behind. You’re Overloaded.

You’re not behind. You’re overloaded.In this episode of The Landy Peek Podcast, Landy Peek interviews Taylor Patterson, a clinically trained, certified hypnotherapist specializing in stress management and women’s wellbeing, for a conversation that names what so many women feel but rarely say out loud: modern life isn’t just busy — it’s neurologically and emotionally relentless. Landy and Taylor break down why stress, anxiety, decision fatigue, perfectionism, and burnout are so common for women today, and how the constant access to information (and expectations) creates a quiet shame spiral: you know what to do… but you don’t have the capacity to do all of it. They also explore practical, realistic ways to step out of overwhelm—without adding another “self-care routine” to your to-do list—including the role of self-hypnosis, micro-pauses, boredom, creativity, and opting out of the cultural pressure to keep up. If you’re the one who holds it all together—this episode will feel like a deep exhale. What You’ll Hear in This Episode Why modern women’s stress levels are historically unprecedented How technology increases pressure instead of reducing it The “embarrassment of choices” and how it fuels decision fatigue Why shame is a terrible motivator (and why it’s everywhere) How perfectionism and comparison quietly drive burnout The over-functioning/under-functioning dynamic in relationships Why self-care becomes another stressor for high-capacity women How self-hypnosis works for stress relief (and what it actually is) Why boredom, daydreaming, nature, and hands-on activities restore capacity A powerful reframing: How is your family looking out together at the world?
