Show Notes

Feeling overwhelmed?

Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines being overwhelmed as:

An extreme level of stress, an emotional and/or cognitive intensity to the point of feeling unable to function.

If being stressed is being in the weeds, feeling overwhelmed is being blown.

Stress and overwhelm are extremely common nowadays. It's tough to know what to do when you feel like you have too much on your plate. If you feel overwhelmed, this episode with Irina Shehovsov will help you take control of mental, emotional, physical, spiritual states to live your best life.

Irina shares her story of living a life of being overwhelmed as a single mother of two. Being a single mother and enduring all the painful things before that, such as her divorce, took a toll on Irina's life. As she recounts, she managed to lose her identity, which prompted her to look for the pathway to rediscover herself.

She gives tips on how she was able to rebuild and manage herself to show up for her kids and herself. Doing this enabled her to transform the most overwhelming point of her life into her purpose - helping those who feel broken and lost in life to find their way towards a fulfilling life once again.

Irina is an NLP Master Practitioner and Coach, Time Line Therapy® Master Practitioner, motivational speaker, author, and creator of Happiness Academy who helps brokenhearted and discouraged people feel alive again so that they can lead fulfilling lives and impact the lives of others as well.
