Have you ever seen a bird try to pick up (and carry) ten different worms at the same time? Probably not. While I sat at my desk last week, noticing a couple of crows swooping down into the grass and swiftly taking flight with their catch, I realized what an important lesson this is from nature: We can only carry so much at a time.

And yet—like so many high-achieving women—I know what it feels like to believe that you should be able to carry everything. That you should be able to crush your morning routine, handle the inbox, squeeze in a workout, eat clean, stay present, and answer every text with grace… all before noon.

This week, I want to help you get clear about the value in taking time to figure out what’s actually important. Because clarity, not effort, is what truly creates change.

This Might Be Why You’re Still Stuck

If your year started with good intentions and still feels like it’s running off course, you’re not alone. Like many of my coaching clients, you may be:

Overloading your mind with too many priorities at once
Struggling with decision fatigue and calling it “procrastination”
Letting one missed habit throw off your whole day because of all-or-nothing thinking
Feeling behind and disappointed—even when you’re giving your best

You’re not lazy. You’re just on mental overload. And just like a crow can only carry one pebble at a time, you can’t hold clarity, focus, and peace while juggling 27 competing tasks.

Let’s Fix the Overload

I created the Mental Clutter Cleanout Guidefor myself many years ago when I was raising two busy children while balancing graduate school, a full time job, and running a household. I’ve used it time and time again without ever realizing how many people need this too.

It’s a simple but powerful tool to help you brain-dump everything that’s swirling in your head and finally see what’s urgent, what can wait, and what you can release altogether.

When you download the guide, you’ll also be invited to join The Seva Circle, where I host live Focus & Flow sessions twice a month with women who are brilliant, busy, and deeply craving more clarity and calm.

You’ll get:

✅ Real-time accountability

✅ Printable worksheets + time sanity templates

✅ Mindset coaching that reminds you: progress isn’t perfect, but it is possible.

Your Next Inspired Step + 3 Powerful Journal Prompts:

Reader, nature already knows: growth doesn’t happen in chaos—it happens in clarity. When you let go of what’s weighing you down, you make space for what really matters.

Here are three powerful journal prompts to get you started:

What am I currently trying to carry all at once and what is it costing me (mentally, emotionally, physically)? Get honest about the hidden toll of juggling too much. Think beyond your to-do list. What are you not doing or enjoying because your mind feels maxed out?
Where in my life am I confusing urgency with importance? Reflect on the habits, tasks, or requests that constantly steal your attention but don’t truly move you closer to the life or health you want.
If I could only carry one “pebble” right now—one habit, one focus, one priority—what would create the biggest shift in my life? Let this guide your next action. Simplicity creates momentum.
