Mini-ep 13: Can you hold the tension?

Written By Siobhan Fox

Can you love your life but still feel overwhelmed?

Let’s talk about holding the tension.

Here's your permission slip: it’s totally okay to feel both gratitude and overwhelm at the same time.

As someone with an AuDHD brain, I often find myself in that all-or-nothing mindset. I'm grateful for my life, but goddamn is it a lot sometimes!!

What if it’s possible to hold space for both feelings at the same time?

I love my kid and my business, but there are days when it feels like too much for one person to handle. What I've learned is it’s about recognising those moments of overwhelm without letting them mean a bunch of stuff about yourself and your life.

So, how can we tune into those signals? It might be as simple as taking a deep breath or stepping outside for a moment (even if it feels like the only answer is to escape to the Bahamas for a week!)

Remember, it’s a-okay to ask for help and make small adjustments to ease the load. How do you hold that tension? Comment on the ep or drop me an email. I'd love to know if this resonates!
