Solo Episode: Which Overwhelm Archetype Are You? Understand Your Stress Pattern and Reclaim Your Energy

Solo Episode: Which Overwhelm Archetype Are You? Understand Your Stress Pattern and Reclaim Your Energy

Let's be real—overwhelm isn't just about having too much to do. It's about how we relate to pressure, expectations, and our own nervous system.

In this solo episode, I break down the science behind stress and overwhelm and introduce you to the 6 Overwhelm Archetypes I've developed from years of coaching high performers and sensitive humans alike. These archetypes help us understand why we respond the way we do when life feels too full—and how we can shift our patterns with more clarity, compassion, and intention.

We'll explore:

  • The difference between stress, overwhelm, and eustress (yes, even good things can leave us fried)

  • How your brain and body respond to stress (hello, nervous system!)

  • The 6 Overwhelm Archetypes:
    🧠 The Pusher
    💞 The Overgiver
    🛑 The Avoider
    🌀 The Drifter
    🎛 The Controller
    🔄 The Spinner

  • How naming your archetype can help you set better boundaries, listen to your needs, and stop powering through

If you're ready to pause, reflect, and work with your overwhelm instead of against it—this episode is for you. Take the FREE Quiz to discover your Overwhelm Archetype.
