I recently had a client who reached out asking me what to do when she feels like everything is hitting her at once.

You know what I mean, when everything is happening at the same time and you feel you need a clone to do everything and be everywhere you need to be.

This can trigger the Good Girl in us, because when she’s activated, we want to please everyone around us and often we fall into wanting to be all things to all people and end up forgetting about ourselves.

I had a little taste of this last week when my parents were in town and I wanted to spend time with them since I only see them once per year.

The problem was that I was in the middle of launching a fabulous new online program that I’ve been working on for the last few months.

I am also starting a new group coaching program for the amazing women who have already attended my Wild Woman Retreat. I’m working with my video editor about a beautiful video I am creating about the Mexico retreat AND packing to move to Vermont for the Summer.

Running our own business and life can be very demanding.

So when my client reached out I knew I wanted to write about this because before doing the Empowered Woman work that I now also teach to women around the world, I would’ve felt overwhelmed and stretched myself too thin.

I would’ve tried to tackle all the things at once and I would’ve ended up feeling exhausted, depleted and possibly angry.

I also would’ve felt guilty if I missed any of them, which would’ve caused me to feel defeated and not good enough.

All of these would’ve happened if I didn’t have my Good Girl and my Wild Woman in alliance.

Last week I had to make some big choices (our Wild Woman knows we always have a choice in any situation) and I had to set priorities, starting with myself. Which meant, I had to get really clear on what required my immediate attention (for me it was my parents since they were only going to be in NYC for five days and I know I’ve would’ve felt bad if I didn’t enjoy time with them.) As for the rest, I had to ask for extra support from my team.

As a result, I was more open, felt happier and energized and was able to connect with each task in a way that made me feel fulfilled and empowered.

If you find yourself in my shoes right now, here’s what you can do:

1) Write down all the things that need your attention at this time. This will help you avoid going into overwhelm and chaos.

2) Go over your list and get clear on your priorities. I am sure ALL of them are meant to happen yesterday, but when we get into reality, you will find that some things can wait and others require your immediate attention.

3) Call your Wild Woman within. Our Wild Woman loves to have fun and enjoy life. If you shift from worry and overwhelm to joy and fun, you will experience an ease and flow that will happily surprise you and you will get what you need done in a more pleasurable way (this feeds your feminine.)

4) Ask for help! This is SO challenging for the Good Girl in us. We must learn to delegate instead of carrying everything on our shoulders, otherwise we will end up feeling depleted and overwhelmed.

5) Trust the process. This might be new to you so trust the process and be adventurous (again, this is a very powerful Wild Woman energy)

I’d love to hear from you! Leave your comment below and share with me:

Do you easily get trapped in pleasing mode?

Are you willing to apply my suggestions above and what was the result if you did?

Now that my parents are back home in Argentina, I am putting all of my energy into launching the very exciting online program I was telling you about.

I want to give you a hint so you can start getting excited about it: It has ALL to do with your Wild Woman 😉

Can’t wait to share with you soon!!

Sending you so much love,
