The Real Reason You’re Overwhelmed

I got an email from a homeschool mom in her seventh year. Three kids. She’s read the books, listened to the podcasts, and been to all the conferences. And today I want to share the real reason you’re overwhelmed.

And she said: “I can’t do it all and be it all anymore. I feel like we’re all bored and sick of each other.”

If you’ve ever felt that way—like you’re drowning even though you know what you’re doing—this episode is for you.

Because the real reason you’re overwhelmed? It’s not what you think.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode

Three Real Stories That Reveal the Truth:

  • The new homeschooler who loves everything about her life… except she feels completely alone
  • The seven-year veteran who’s trying to be everything to everyone (and burning out)
  • The mom who used to have dreams and vision, but now feels like a blank slate

The Real Reason You’re Overwhelmed:

  • Why isolation and overwhelm are connected
  • The difference between symptoms and root causes
  • What happens when you lose your vision (and how to find it again)

The Four R’s Framework to Reset:

  • Reclaim your vision
  • Release the roles
  • Rebuild your boundaries
  • Reconnect with your village

“Overwhelm isn’t always about having too much to do. Sometimes it’s about having no one to do it with.”
