215 // The Key to Getting Out of Overwhelm (It's Not What You Think) - with Dr. Amber Curtis

If you’ve ever felt like the weight of motherhood, work, and life is too much to bear, this episode will help you breathe again. Behavioral science professor and life coach Dr. Amber Curtis [https://solutionsforsimplicity.com/] joins us to unpack what’s really behind the stress and overwhelm so many moms experience - and how understanding your brain and nervous system can help you reclaim peace, productivity, and joy. Dr. Amber shares her own journey from burnout and near suicide to finding science-backed tools for emotional regulation, self-compassion, and true calm. You’ll walk away with a new understanding of how your brain works under stress, why “just managing your time better” isn’t the answer, and practical ways to start rewiring your responses in the moment. In this episode we talk about: 🧠 Why time management isn’t the real solution to burnout and overwhelm 🧠 How your nervous system drives your stress response — and what it needs to feel safe 🧠 The mental and emotional load of motherhood and how our biology makes us deeply attuned to our children’s emotions 🧠 Attachment theory’s role in how we react to our kids’ “big feelings” 🧠 Neurotags explained: what they are, how they form, and how to change them 🧠 Practical tools to create space between your triggers and responses 🧠 The truth about mindset: you can’t change your thoughts until your nervous system feels safe Dr. Amber Curtis is the CEO of Solutions for Simplicity [https://solutionsforsimplicity.com/], a certified life coach, and behavioral science professor who equips overwhelmed women with science-backed strategies to overcome the hidden sources of stress stealing your time and joy. After getting suicidal from the stress of keeping up with her demanding job while raising four young kids, she’s on a mission to make sure no other mom ever burns out like she did. Her coaching, group programs, podcast, and YouTube channel offer proven ways to work with (instead of against!) your brain and body so you can do more, stress less, and be happier.
