21. Creating Calm: Morning Habits That Regulate Your Mind, Body & Soul
In today’s episode of The Overflow Podcast, we’re diving into the connection between our morning routines, stress levels, and the identities we unknowingly carry every day. What if overwhelm isn’t just about being busy… but about who we’ve become in the middle of it?
This honest conversation explores how women often attach themselves to identities like “busy,” “stressed,” or “anxious” — and how those identities can quietly shape our health, nervous system, relationships, and daily habits.
We also share what our real mornings look like right now — the good, the messy, and the intentional. From prayer and sunlight to workouts, nervous system tools, homeschooling, phone distractions, and faith, this episode is full of practical and meaningful reflections for women wanting to create more peace and alignment in their lives.
Becky shares how praying Psalm 91 and practicing HeartMath breathing techniques have been helping calm her nervous system and shift her body out of fight-or-flight mode. The conversation also dives into self-worth, performance, motherhood, social media distractions, and how our view of God can deeply influence the way we live and heal.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stretched thin, constantly “on,” or stuck in survival mode, this episode will encourage you to slow down, reflect, and begin creating simple rhythms that support your mind, body, and soul.
