Why Overwhelm is Stealing Your Power—And How to Take It Back

I still get that feeling like I’m not doing enough every time I see another urgent cause come across my feed.

The truth? I want to help EVERYONE who needs it. I want to do something about EVERY injustice I see. It’s wired into me—this fire for change, this refusal to look away. Maybe you feel it too.

But here’s what I’ve learned: that urgency, that all-consuming need to respond to every call, can turn into the very thing that paralyzes us.

We see the volume of crises, the endless causes that deserve our energy.

We get overwhelmed by the sheer number of places we could direct our efforts.

And then…we freeze. We feel helpless. We lose clarity, scatter our energy, or shut down entirely. The weight of the world becomes too much, and instead of stepping up, we step back—not because we don’t care, but because our nervous systems aren’t built to hold it all at once.

Here’s something that isn’t talked about enough in leadership or change-making spaces:

Your capacity to create impact is directly tied to your ability to regulate your energy.

Stress and overwhelm hijack our nervous system, dulling the very parts of us that make effective change possible. When we are burned out, exhausted, and running on fumes, we make reactive, short-sighted decisions—or worse, we make no decision at all.

It’s not that we don’t care. It’s that we haven’t built the inner infrastructure to sustain the weight of the mission we carry.

This is why doing the inner work first isn’t selfish—it’s strategic.

If your nervous system, body, and energy field feel out of sync and you need high-touch support to get back into harmony now, Reclaim Your Resilience is for you. This program is designed for those who need immediate recalibration—so you can stop running on fumes and start moving with clarity and steadiness again.
