022: How To Reframe Overwhelm and Become a Magnet for Abundance

What if overwhelm isn’t “too much work”, but simply a calendar problem waiting for a smarter fix?
In this episode, Lucy  reveals how chronic overload is just an unstructured to‑do list and a limiting belief about worthiness. Drawing on her experience of launching multiple companies while raising two under two (and navigating a late ADHD diagnosis), she shares her “Do, Ditch, Delegate” method, calendar‑blocking tactics, and mindset reframes that turn heavy workloads into lighter, energising momentum. She explains why embracing white space, challenging the “I must hustle to receive” story, and trusting that the right tasks will surface are the fastest routes to calm productivity and greater cash‑flow.
Hands up if you’re a founder, creative, or purpose‑driven parent who juggles business growth with family life and feels paralysed by never‑ending lists: this episode delivers practical scheduling tips and mindset shifts that dissolve overwhelm and open the door to sustainable abundance.
