In this real-time reflection, Linda and Heather speak from a familiar place: creative overwhelm. With honesty and gentleness, they explore what it feels like to be maxed out emotionally, mentally, and energetically, and how naming the truth of that experience can become its own kind of medicine. They discuss nervous system overload, the pressure to show up anyway, and why sometimes the most helpful thing is to say, “I’m at capacity.” If you’ve ever felt like you just can’t push through, this episode will not only help you feel less alone, but also give you permission to slow down.
