What this episode covers

Brainstorming is often the go-to when overwhelm hits, but it can actually make things worse. In this episode, I share a one-to-two-minute somatic, neuroscience-backed tool that helps you shift out of project overwhelm quickly. Perfect for creatives, neurodivergent, chronically ill, and highly sensitive folks, this technique offers a body-centered way to reset, refocus, and move forward with clarity.
