340. Working Mom Mindset: Feeling Overwhelmed? Ask Yourself This One Simple Question

Hi Mamas,

Have you ever felt like your mind was racing with everything that could go wrong?

The work deadlines.
The parenting challenges.
The never-ending to-do list.
The unexpected curveballs that seem to show up at the worst possible time.

This week I’m sharing how a simple shift in perspective helped me move from feeling completely overwhelmed to taking productive action.

Recording from Valencia, Spain, on my iphone (so please give me grace with the sound quality!_ I  reflect on why we often become overwhelmed… not because we have too much to do, but because we're trying to solve tomorrow's problems before we've taken today's first step.

I also share an important lesson I’ve taught my own kids for years: when life gets messy, you don't have to have all the answers…you just need to know your next right step.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why overwhelm often comes from trying to solve everything at once.
• The one question that can help you quiet an anxious, racing mind.
• Why clarity comes from taking action… not waiting until you have all the answers.
• A parenting lesson Kerri hopes her kids never forget.
• A simple challenge to help you feel calmer and more intentional this week.

This Week's Mindset Shift

"Overwhelm fades when you stop trying to solve everything and simply ask, 'What's my next best step?'"

💛 This Week's Challenge

The next time you catch yourself spiraling, pause before trying to solve the entire problem.

Instead, ask yourself:

"What's my next best step?"

Then take that one step before worrying about the next one.

Small, intentional steps create momentum—and momentum leads to clarity.
