Episode 230: Ask A Therapist: How to Decrease Overwhelm

Jan 26, 2026

 

 

 

 

 

Ever feel overwhelmed and just wonder why you can’t get it together?


In this Ask A Therapist episode, Niki and Julie talk honestly about what overwhelm actually looks like in real life. Not the Instagram version. The real version.

Things like, why anxiety sometimes shows up without a clear reason, why “trying harder” usually backfires, and how small changes can bring real relief. Niki also shares a little of her story of joining the church at 19 and how that has given her a huge perspective on mental health.

So come listen in. Check your body before blaming your faith. And stop thinking you need a full life overhaul to feel better.
