First steps when you're over-scheduled

If you've ever found yourself juggling endless to-do lists, trying to "do it all," yet still feeling behind — this conversation is for you. In this episode, I'm joined by Anna Dearmon Kornick, a sought-after time management coach, keynote speaker, and founder of the It's About Time Academy. Anna shares why overwhelm isn't just about being busy, the truth about context switching, and how to create balance that actually feels good — without sacrificing your ambition.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why high achievers are especially prone to overwhelm (and how to recognize it)
• The real reason multitasking doesn't work — and what to do instead
• How context switching drains your focus and energy
• Small, realistic shifts that can completely change how your week feels
• How to define what work-life balance means for you
