Inner Spring Cleaning #1

Feeling overwhelmed shouldn't be your "normal." If you’re a high-achieving woman navigating burnout, this inner spring cleaning series is designed to help you clear the mental load and stress that a better planner simply can’t solve.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on The Lint Trap Effect, including why life feels so weighty right now and how to start clearing that invisible buildup from your nervous system.

From identifying "Febru-weary" survival mode to understanding why your New Year's goals might have stalled, we’ll talk through exactly how to create space for the life you actually desire, even if you feel like you have too much on your plate to slow down.

Whether you’re a high-achieving woman, a busy professional, or simply feeling "unanchored," you’ll walk away with a sense of relief and a practical path back to yourself.

🎯 HERE ARE THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Understand "The Lint Trap Effect" Just like a dryer, we accumulate invisible buildup from old habits and unvoiced expectations that eventually become a "fire hazard" for our well-being.

2️⃣ Stop Gaslighting Your Exhaustion Self-trust begins when we stop telling ourselves we "shouldn't" be tired and finally admit that we are simply "full" of roles that no longer fit.

3️⃣ Shift from "Makeover" to "Return" Inner spring cleaning isn't about fixing yourself or doing more; it’s about returning to the version of you that isn't buried under everyone else's demands.
