Working motherhood is hard, and most of us believe that if we just got through the list, we'd finally feel calm. But what if your to-do list isn't the reason you feel overwhelmed?
My friend Ashley Solomon is a licensed clinical psychologist, writer, and founder of Galia Collaborative and in this episode, she explains why this keeps happening with her idea of "Story After State". The feeling in your body comes first, and the story you tell about it comes second. That story turns a messy kitchen into resentment, or a full calendar into "I'll never get this done." Clearing the counter doesn't change the story. Calming your body does.
You'll hear how to calm your body in the middle of a full day (even with two minutes), how to catch the stories driving your mood, and why stress does less harm when you stop treating it as the enemy.
This week, I'm checking in with my body before I touch my list.
