Mark joins me today to discuss overwhelm and where it comes from. He describes what can happen when we don’t let emotions flow and explains what the “allostatic load” is. He talks about why we should list all the sabertooths in our lives. Mark also shares his experiences with overwhelm and underscores how an internal transformation helped him grow his coaching practice into a thriving business.
“If you don’t allow emotions to flow, they get stuck somewhere else. Slow down enough and let them catch up to you.”
