⭐ Does any of this sound familiar? ⭐
You feel overwhelmed on a regular basis. It’s affecting your ability to be creative or fulfil your ambitions. You struggle to stay motivated or feel in control, because these days it always feels like there’s just too much to do and it's hard to know what to prioritise. Some days, you crave a simpler existence. On the worst days, you don’t care.
⭐ Why does i
t matter so much? ⭐
If you’re feeling overwhelmed on a regular basis - even ONCE a week - you are putting your business and your health at significant risk. Your overwhelm could destroy everything you’re currently working so hard for. Overwhelm doesn’t just go away, and your ability to cope with feeling overwhelmed becomes less effective over time. And you’re developing negative patterns of thinking that will keep you stuck.
⭐ So, what do you need to know? ⭐
No matter how busy and apparently productive you think you are, overwhelm will cause you to waste time, energy and money because of the way you are thinking, feeling and working. It may be showing up as working on the wrong things, micromanagement, perfectionism, procrastination, forgetfulness, worrying, insomnia, feeling increasingly isolated, moody and less and less satisfied...
What may be less immediately obvious is the physical impact of stress and insomnia, including high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Ultimately, put up with feeling overwhelmed long enough and you’ll just stop caring about your business or anything much at all.
⭐ What can you do about it? ⭐
There’s a LOT you can do, but if I was to put it all into a list this in itself could be overwhelming – so I’ll give you some highlights...
• Stop being busy doing and make more time for thinking (strategically about yourself and your business)
• Get to know yourself better; understand your core values and shape your business to better suit who you are
• Think bigger – return to your purpose, vision and ambition
• Have meaningful, constructive conversations with others who share your issues
• Make yourself accountable to at least one other person who you respect and do not want to let down. Counter to what you might be thinking: ‘I don’t have time for this!’, dealing with your overwhelm needn’t add to your To Do List, because you’ll be making different decisions about what you are spending your time and energy on.

I have been where you are.

I know the cost and, having closed my garden design business after seven years, I have learned much about the solution. Having requalified as a business coach, I’ve spent the last four years working with creative women to turn around their thinking and approach to running their businesses. My coaching and workshops have been designed to reduce your overwhelm – you’ll start making a difference straight away
⭐ What makes what I offer different? ⭐
