132. How to Reduce Overwhelm with a To-Don't List feat. guest Michelle Gauthier
Are you constantly running from place to place feeling frantic and overwhelmed? In this episode, I sit down with Michelle Gauthier, life coach and host of the Overwhelmed Working Woman podcast, who helps busy, overwhelmed working women find peace and efficiency.
Michelle shares how she went from living in mom guilt and constant frenzy to creating a more intentional, peaceful life. She introduces us to her game-changing "to-don't list" concept - a powerful tool that eliminates decision fatigue and creates more space in your day.
🔍 In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why creating a "to-don't list" might be MORE important than your to-do list
- How to identify what areas of your life "suck" and should be eliminated or changed
- Why setting boundaries around others' opinions can transform your peace of mind
- How to create true white space in your calendar (and actually keep it open!)
Michelle shares her journey from a 20-year corporate career to becoming a life coach for overwhelmed women, and how she broke free from the frenzy to create a more peaceful life as a single mom of two. Her practical approach to eliminating overwhelm will leave you feeling inspired to make immediate changes to your own hectic schedule.
Whether you're a working mom stretched thin or anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, this episode offers tangible strategies to create more space, peace and intentionality in your day-to-day life.
