Overcommitted and Overwhelmed
Episode 14
Wednesday, 5 May, 2021
Overcommitted: to promise, undertake, or allocate more than the available resources justify: (source: collinsdictionnary.com) Overwhelmed: completely overcome or overpowered by thought or feeling (merriam-webster.com) Taking on the topic of overcommitting and feeling overwhelmed by it all. As single moms, we often feel the pressure to be everything to everyone, especially our kids. Supermoms! Liza and Wendy, both single moms talk about their own experiences trying to do everything and how it has affected them. Doing too much for other people can prevent us from getting what we want or need. We often will put our own self-care to the bottom of the list in favour of helping others meet their needs. Always volunteering for the school trips? Answering work texts on your day off? Feeling like you can never get everything you want done? This is what we are referring to. Wendy tells how recently she made a conscientious decision to put away the phone and spend quality time with her kids. It was difficult but in the end, worth it. We discuss: Setting priorities and sticking to them Losing the feeling of “guilt” Releasing the doubt Learning how to add self-care to the list Choice and compromise Connect with Empowering Single Mothers: Facebook: @empoweringsinglemothers2012 Instagram:@empoweringsinglemothers Email: powerfulmomstogether@gmail.com
