Burdensome Abundance Is Real: What I Tell My Nervous System When It Hi

At BossMom, we’re not here to teach you how to “balance it all.” We’re here to name what’s real—so you can build a life and business that actually fits who you’re becoming.

In this episode, Dana shares a deeply honest reflection about what she calls burdensome abundance—those seasons where everything you asked for is showing up at once… and it’s just too much. It’s not because you’re failing. It’s because you’re expanding.

You’ll hear how Dana talks to her nervous system in those stretched-too-thin moments, why emotional whiplash is often part of growth, and what it really means to expand your capacity—not just to stay calm, but to stay connected to what matters most.

This isn’t an empowerment pep talk.

It’s a mirror.

And if you’ve been feeling both grateful and exhausted, this is your permission to feel it all—and keep going anyway.
