Episode #79 You’re Not Behind. You’re Overloaded.

You’re not behind. You’re overloaded.
In this episode of The Landy Peek Podcast, Landy Peek interviews Taylor Patterson, a clinically trained, certified hypnotherapist specializing in stress management and women’s wellbeing, for a conversation that names what so many women feel but rarely say out loud: modern life isn’t just busy — it’s neurologically and emotionally relentless.

Landy and Taylor break down why stress, anxiety, decision fatigue, perfectionism, and burnout are so common for women today, and how the constant access to information (and expectations) creates a quiet shame spiral: you know what to do… but you don’t have the capacity to do all of it.

They also explore practical, realistic ways to step out of overwhelm—without adding another “self-care routine” to your to-do list—including the role of self-hypnosis, micro-pauses, boredom, creativity, and opting out of the cultural pressure to keep up.

If you’re the one who holds it all together—this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
