A Simple Neuroscience Hack to Break Through Leadership Overload

Send us a text

Ever feel like you’re juggling flaming swords on a tightrope over a pit of to-do lists?

Whether it's surprise invoices, deadline-pinging texts, or a mind that spirals straight to worst-case scenario mode… this episode is for the high-achiever who's ever found herself red-faced and frozen mid-Zoom call, wondering, “How am I going to pull all this off?”

Join Alex and Carol for a raw, practical, and encouraging conversation about what really happens in our minds and bodies when overwhelm hits—and what to do about it.

💭 We’re talking about how our brains are wired to default to the familiar—even if the familiar is chaos and burnout—and how to interrupt that pattern in real-time with three powerful words:

👉 It. Is. Done.

This isn’t about toxic positivity. It’s about:

• Creating a somatic and strategic shift when your brain wants to spiral.
• Moving from “how will I do this?” to “what’s my next best step?”
• Tapping into support—whether that’s your community, your tech (hello, ChatGPT), or your own inner wisdom.

Inside the episode:
 🔹 Carol opens with a vivid picture of a full-on overwhelm moment—tight chest, buzzing phone, deadlines converging—and how to reset.
 🔹 Alex shares her own real-life examples: juggling a rebrand, an international move, and a book launch… all at once. Spoiler: she didn’t crumble, and you don’t have to either.
 🔹 The science behind why a simple declaration like “it is done” can physiologically shift your nervous system and activate your brain’s reticular activating system (RAS).
 🔹 Micro moves that create massive momentum: 15-minute sprints, simple DMs, or putting away 3 toys at a time (yes, even that counts).
 🔹 The power of asking for help. Whether it’s a five-minute coaching voice note, a co-working buddy, or just knowing you’re not doing this alone—support changes everything.

💡 This episode is a must-listen if you're:

• A high-performing woman leader secretly shouldering it all
• On the verge of burnout and need an anchor
• Craving a way to show up with conviction, clarity, and calm—even in the chaos

We leave you with three things to take with you:

1. Declare “It is done” as your pattern interrupt.
2. Break it down into one small, doable step (even if it’s just writing one sentence).
3. Say it out loud. Embody the trust that the path is unfolding—one moment, one breath, one action at a time.

✨And a gentle reminder from Alex: You don’t have to do this alone. You get to be supported. You get to lead differently. You get to let it be easier.

So, what’s one thing you can do in the next 15 minutes?
