If you feel like you’re always behind, you’re not alone.

You’re not lazy. You’re not failing. You’re just overwhelmed in a world that rarely gives you a moment to breathe.

You might be:

  • Juggling too many tabs—on your screen and in your mind
  • Beating yourself up for not doing enough
  • Feeling like life is rushing by but you’re stuck in place
  • Longing for peace… but unsure how to get there without dropping the ball

    Sound familiar?
    Then you’re exactly who
    Overwhelm is Optional was made for.

There’s a way through the overwhelm

You don’t need more time. You need tools that work in the time you already have.

Overwhelm is Optional is a 4-week email course that teaches you how to reset your mental state, right in the middle of your busy day.

It’s not about doing less. It’s about learning to:

  • Catch yourself when the spiral starts
  • Come back to center, without a meditation cushion
  • Use transitions (not time blocks) as powerful reset points
  • Build small, steady practices that stick

Just 10 minutes a day. One email at a time. No pressure to be perfect.

Work with resistance

Practice self-compassion and build flexibility when things don’t go as planned.

Shift your perspective

Learn mindset tools to reframe overwhelm and step out of spirals.

Find the Middle Way

What you’ll learn, one week at a time

Each week, you’ll receive a short daily email to help you build micro-practices—called Still Points—that shift how you move through stress, pressure, and transition moments in daily life.

I created this course because I needed it myself.

Eight years ago, I was drowning in my own life.

I had everything I thought I wanted: a meaningful career, two teenage boys I adored, a growing podcast, and the privilege of caring for my aging mother. But I woke up every morning with a knot in my stomach and the persistent thought: “I can’t keep doing this.”

The worst part? I didn’t want to give anything up. Every responsibility mattered. Every commitment had value. So when well-meaning friends told me to “just do less” or “learn to say no,” I felt even more trapped.

That’s when I discovered what I now call the Still Point Method—a way to transform not what you’re doing, but how you feel while doing it. Instead of fighting your full life, you learn to find calm within it.

I spent years refining this approach, and now I want to share it with you.

People kept telling me to slow down. Say no. Cut back.
But I didn’t want to give anything up – my work, my family, my responsibilities. They all mattered. The problem wasn’t my life. The problem was how I felt inside it.

That’s what 
Overwhelm is Optional is really about:
Finding a better way to feel in the middle of the life you already have.
