Hi Helen

It starts out exciting…

You finally say yes to the big dream. You set a bold goal, made a few brave moves, and tell someone what you're up to.

Then suddenly…

Your mind is full.
Your to-do list is swirling.
Your energy? Spinning.

That spark you felt is now smothered by a thick fog of pressure, perfectionism, and too many unknowns.

Sound familiar?

Let me tell you about 2am Helen

The other night, I woke up at 2am — wide awake, thoughts racing. My mind was spinning with everything I need to do.

I’ve recently committed to building a more course-centered business. I’ll still be doing 1:1 and group coaching, but courses will carry the heart of the work.

And as you can imagine… there are a lot of moving parts.

In that moment, my brilliant mind — whose job is to keep me safe — woke me up trying to “solve” all of it. She was worried. About time. About money. About whether this big new direction would work.

2am Helen was spiraling.
That version of me — awake and anxious — wasn’t actually helping.

So instead of letting her run the show, I paused. I told her gently:
I hear you. I know you’re scared. But spinning won’t solve this.

Then I tapped. I breathed.
And slowly, the spinning stopped.

I was able to fall back asleep — and wake up centered, clear, and grounded in what matters most.

Overwhelm isn’t failure — it’s feedback.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, or stretched thin, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong.

It’s because you’re overwhelmed.

That doesn’t mean stop.
It means pause.
It means come back into your body.
It means notice what’s running the show — and choose again.

Overwhelm isn’t just a feeling — it’s a stress response that pulls your energy up and out of your body, into your head, and out of your power. It scatters your focus and cuts you off from your inner brilliance.

Even a small moment of breath, of tapping, of grounded presence — that can change everything.

Want support with this?

This is exactly what I help my clients move through — in coaching, in courses, in community.

You don’t have to get stuck in the spin.
You can learn to return — again and again — to clarity, confidence, and calm action.

I have just the course for you called from Overwhelm To Inspired Action: A Nervous System Reset for just $47. You can buy it here
