Overwhelm isn’t caused by how much you have to do. It’s caused by perfectionism.

If you constantly feel behind, discouraged, or frozen when you look at your home, this video explains why. The problem isn’t your schedule, your kids, or your to-do list. It’s the unrealistic standards you’re measuring your real life against.

In this video, I explain
• why a full life is not the same thing as an overwhelming life
• how perfectionism creates paralysis, procrastination, and burnout
• why planning and organizing often make overwhelm worse
• how perfectionism fuels the boom and bust cycle so many moms experience

Once you can identify perfectionism at work, you can start undoing it.

If you want a simple way to begin letting go of perfectionism, I’ll send you my free Smile & Start Challenge by email. You’ll get three short, practical emails that help you take small steps instead of chasing perfect plans.
