About this listen

Your brain is brilliant—but sometimes it feels like it’s working against you. You start the day with good intentions, then distractions, decisions, and everyone else’s needs pile up until you’re running on fumes and guilt.

The Busy Brain Do-Over is your weekly reset button. It’s where busy, capable women come to trade shame for strategy and chaos for calm.

Hosted by Candace, a fellow high-capacity woman who knows what it’s like to juggle all the things and still feel behind—and who believes life doesn’t have to run perfectly to run well—this show helps you build simple, flexible routines that fit how your brain actually works.

Each episode gives you one small Do-Over: a real-world reset you can use right away to feel more focused, confident, and in control again. You’ll learn how to recover when things fall apart—without starting from scratch.

If you’ve ever thought you’re the problem—you’re not. You just need permission, a plan, and a partner to start again.

Subscribe to The Busy Brain Do-Over and get ready to reset your mind, your day, and your confidence—one Do-Over at a time.

    Episode 2: The Overwhelm Do-Over -- How to Reset When You Can't Keep Up
    Oct 31 2025

    Ever feel like your brain’s stuck in overdrive — anxious, unproductive, and convinced you’re the problem? You’re not broken; you’re just overloaded.

    In this episode of The Busy Brain Do-Over, Candace shares a real-life moment of overwhelm and teaches the S.T.O.P. Framework — a simple reset to help you calm your nervous system and start again:
    S – Step Back
    T – Take Inventory
    O – Order of Care
    P – Pick One Move

    Overwhelm isn’t failure; it’s fatigue. You don’t have to earn calm by finishing everything first — calm is what helps you finish anything at all.

    Take a breath, give yourself grace, and remember: you can always start again. 💛

    Episode 1: Which Busy Brain Are You?
    Oct 31 2025

    Ever feel like your brain is juggling twelve tabs but none of them are loading? In this episode of The Busy Brain Do-Over, therapist and educator Candace helps you discover which type of Busy Brain you have — and why it matters.

    Meet the three types:
    💭 The Looks-Put-Together Woman — calm outside, chaos inside.
    💭 The Functioning-On-Empty Woman — reliable but running on fumes.
    💭 The Overloaded Achiever — capable, overcommitted, and out of room.

    These types aren’t labels — they’re mirrors. Once you can name what’s happening, you can start working with your brain instead of against it.

    Take a breath, give yourself grace, and remember: you don’t have to fix your Busy Brain — just understand it. 💛
