## Resource

You’re Not Failing at Life – You’re Just Carrying Too Much Feeling like you’re dropping all the balls and failing at “adulting”? In this mini episode of The Unconventional Business Podcast, I'm sharing a big, fat permission slip! If you’ve been telling yourself you’re failing because you can’t keep on top of everything, this episode is your reminder: You’re not failing. You’re just carrying too much. Drawing on my work coaching ADHD and neurodivergent business owners, and my burnout mapping workshop “All the Hats, Just One Head”, I explain why so many of us end up overwhelmed – and, as always, what you can actually do about it! I walk you through the concept of the four “you’s” (CEO you, employee you, carer/parent you, and human you), and show you how to map your demands and resources, so you can lighten the load, avoid burnout, and treat yourself with more compassion. If this episode made you think, “Oh my God, it’s not just me,” you’re not alone – and you’re not failing!
