My brain was spiraling about something I actually WANTED for my son—sending him to Montessori.I'd been dreaming about this since he was a baby. But as the start date got closer? How will I work with only 2 hours to myself? What if I can't handle being in mom mode all morning? What if I become that overstimulated, impatient version of myself I hate?In this episode, I walk you through my actual brain dump from February—the fears, the scheduling panic, the limiting beliefs, and exactly how I used strategic journaling to process it all instead of just white-knuckling through.You'll hear:Why wanting something can still feel terrifying (and what that means)The two things I did OUTSIDE of journaling that regulated my nervous system before the change even happenedHow to untangle "I'm excited" from "I'm overwhelmed" when they're happening at the same timeIf you're staring down a major schedule change—less childcare, a new job, homeschooling, or just life throwing you a curveball—this will help you move from "I can't do this" to "okay, I can figure this out."Next Tuesday, Part 2 drops with the real update after a month of living this new reality. Did I spiral? Thrive? Find my flow?
