Hey there, Superwoman, I see you.
You’re the go-to person for everyone. The one who always has it together, who keeps all the plates spinning, who makes the impossible look easy. But on the inside, it’s a different story. The endless to-do lists, the constant demands from work, family, and friends – sometimes it feels like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. And it’s exhausting.
​
You’re tired. Not just physically, but emotionally and mentally drained. Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm have become unwelcome guests in your life, showing up uninvited and refusing to leave. You may find yourself lying awake at night, mind racing with thoughts you can’t seem to shut off. Or maybe you wake up feeling like you’ve already run a marathon before the day even begins.
Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm can each affect you in different ways.
Although we often hear these terms used interchangeably, they're each a different beast in terms of how they affect us. And as women, we often face unique challenges that can amplify these feelings even further.
​Stress is your body’s response to demands and pressures. It’s not always a bad thing—in fact, a little bit of stress can help you stay focused and motivated. But when stress becomes chronic, when it feels like you’re constantly in fight-or-flight mode, that’s when it becomes a problem.
​
Anxiety is more than just feeling nervous or worried. It’s a persistent sense of unease or dread that can interfere with your daily life. You might feel on edge, have trouble concentrating, or experience physical symptoms like a racing heart or shortness of breath.
​
Overwhelm happens when it feels like there’s too much to handle—too many responsibilities, too many expectations, too much of everything. It’s that crushing feeling that no matter how hard you try, you can’t keep up.
As women, we're especially vulnerable to stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.
We're expected to juggle a lot. Whether it’s balancing a career with family life, caring for loved ones, or managing a household, the pressures can be immense. And society doesn’t always make it easy. We’re bombarded with messages that tell us we need to be perfect—perfect mothers, perfect partners, perfect professionals.
​
These unrealistic expectations can lead to a constant state of stress and anxiety. And because women are often socialized to prioritize others’ needs over their own (ahem, where are my fellow people-pleasers? ), it’s easy to ignore the warning signs until it feels like everything is spiraling out of control.
​
Maybe you’ve been told this is "just the way it is” or that you’re being “too sensitive.” Maybe you’ve even internalized those messages, thinking you should be able to handle it all. Sometimes our inner critic can be the loudest voice in the room.
The physical and emotional toll adds up over time.
Emotionally, you might feel stuck in a cycle of worry and self-doubt. You might avoid certain situations because they trigger your anxiety or find it hard to enjoy the things that used to bring you happiness. Your relationships are often affected, too. Maybe you’re more irritable than usual or find yourself snapping at people for minor annoyances. Over time, the emotional toll can lead to feelings of sadness, guilt, and hopelessness.
Chronic stress, anxiety, and overwhelm can take a toll on your body, too. You might notice physical symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, or digestive issues. Or perhaps you’re struggling with fatigue, feeling drained even after a full night’s sleep and struggling to find the energy to get through the day.
Calling all overwhelmed superwomen, anxious perfectionists, and stressed-out people-pleasers.
You wouldn't be here reading this right now if you didn't already know something's got to give. Maybe you've been thinking about anxiety therapy for a while, but you keep putting it off because you're not sure if things have gotten thaaat bad. Or maybe therapy feels like an indulgent splurge that you don't really neeed. After all, you've been handling things on your own pretty damn good, right?
But why settle for simply surviving when you could be thriving? As a women's mental health specialist, I believe you deserve to feel your absolute best – to feel more joy and less stress, to feel balanced an in control of your emotions, to enjoy fulfilling relationships and a satisfying sex life, and to unapologetically love yourself and your life.
