The One Habit That Will Help You Feel Less Overwhelmed Every Day

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 04:15:00 -0400

Do you ever start your day already feeling overwhelmed—before you’ve even really begun?

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most common (and often hidden) reasons we feel constantly behind… trying to hold everything all at once in our minds.

Because overwhelm isn’t always about having too much to do—it’s often about carrying too much mentally at the same time.

Today, I’m sharing a simple shift that can help you slow things down and feel more in control—by coming back to one task, one moment, and one thing at a time. With real-life examples from everyday moments, this is a gentle, practical way to reduce the mental load and feel a little more present in your day.

If you’ve been craving more calm, more clarity, and a little more peace in your routines, this episode is for you.

Because you don’t need to do more… you just need to stop holding it all at once.

Dear Discouragement, You Don't Win

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 04:15:00 -0400

Have you ever felt like social media is quietly dictating your worth? Like the numbers — the likes, the follows, the comments — somehow start to define whether what you’re doing even matters?

If you’ve ever found yourself questioning why you show up at all, this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, I’m sharing something deeply personal — the honest struggle of putting yourself out there online and the discouragement that can creep in when comparison starts to take hold. I’m talking about the moments when the metrics feel louder than your purpose, and the quiet questions that follow: Is this even worth it? Does anyone care?

But this episode isn’t about staying stuck in that place. It’s about remembering something so much bigger than the numbers — your why.

We’re talking about how easy it is to seek validation in a world of algorithms, why comparison is such a universal human struggle, and how reconnecting with your purpose can set you free from that cycle.

If you’ve been feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or simply questioning your place in the online space, consider this your gentle reminder that your worth was never meant to be measured by metrics.

Your voice matters. Your presence matters. And the reason you started still matters

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 04:15:00 -0400

Being a human in 2026 just feels challenging. We are being called to show up to our day as all the versions of ourselves, stay informed, be compassionate, stay present, still feel joy, take care of ourselves, when the reality is we are living in an ever connected world with so much at our fingertips.

Your Dreams Matter - It's Time to Start Dreaming Again

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 04:15:00 -0400

When was the last time that you let yourself dream… and I mean actually dream. Dream big, boldly and bravely. A time where you let yourself dream long enough without immediately talking yourself out of it?

And I’m not talking about the safe version of dreaming or the realistic version, but the version of dreaming that once made your heart feel fully alive.

Somewhere between the responsibilities and survival mode and showing up for everyone else, a lot of us quietly tucked our dreams away. Not because they stopped mattering, because other parts of life felt more important.

Today, I want to remind you of something really important. And that’s this. Your dreams matter. And right now is the perfect time to start dreaming again!

EP 150 // The Power of Words - Using Your Voice to Affirm Others with Emily Montgomery

Mon, 20 May 2024 04:15:00 -0400

One of the most powerful tools you have, something you use every single day without fully realizing and recognizing the potential of it, yes, I am talking about your voice.

The words you speak and the tone in which they carry truly have the potential to not just impact your own life, but the very people around you!

Talking through the importance of using your voice to speak powerful and affirming words to the people who mean the most!

Today's special guest - Emily Montgomery is the founder of HiLU, a pro-social app dedicated to spreading words of affirmation to others in our lives. Emily shares her personal journey of transformation, from being a lawyer and prosecutor to following her passion for gratitude and kindness.

The idea for HiLU came to Emily during her pilgrimage on the Camino del Santiago, where she received voice recordings of affirmations from her mentors. She realized the importance of what her mentors had done for her throughout the years, and created HiLU to spread the practice of lifting up others as an antidote to the loneliness epidemic.

Send a voice memo to someone special with HiLU.

EP 138 // Perfectionism, Perception & People-Pleasing Holding You Back? How to Live with More Purpose, Fulfillment and Chase Your Dreams with Shannon Talbot

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 04:15:00 -0400

On today's episode of the Best Day Podcast, host Haley and special guest Shannon Talbot share an honest conversation on life as busy, working moms, seeking a life full of purpose, and desperate for more work-life balance.

In this episode you will find:

How to live a more purposeful and fulfilling life
Encouragement to walk in your identify
Permission from perfectionism, people-pleasing and perception
The importance and value of receiving feedback
Permission to dream both big and small dreams
To find the joy in the little moments

Meet Special Guest Shannon Talbot ~

Shannon Talbot is a former Director in a big bank, former VP at an advertising agency, wife and mom of two young boys. Shannon has been featured on CBC Radio and in Today’s Parent, Chatelaine and Thrive Global.

While Shannon looked successful on paper, she didn’t “feel” successful as she wasn’t good at balancing work and home, nor her stress or anxiety. With each promotion, she felt imposter syndrome and burnt out as a result of trying to prove her worth. It wasn’t until her late 30s when she finally learned that by prioritizing her well-being, she could be even more successful, at work and home.

And now, as a Speaker, Author and Coach, Shannon helps other working moms to overcome self-doubt, achieve excellence, and find work-life balance while prioritizing family and personal well-being.

Welcome to The Best Day Podcast - Top Podcast for Encouragement and Motivation, the Pep Talk You Need to Live Your Best Life

Sun, 27 Aug 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Your weekly dose of encouragement and pep talk full of motivation and empowering words to help you live your best life!

Top 2% Globally Ranked Podcast

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed? Burnt out, feeling stressed and pulled in every direction. Constantly comparing yourself to other people? Lacking in confidence, looking for ways to get motivated? Eager to find balance as you navigate this beautiful life.

Welcome to the Best Day Podcast. The podcast for encouragement and motivation.

In this podcast you will learn:

The pep talk you need to live your best life.
Tools to embrace a positive mindset
How to live a life you can feel good about.
How to reduce the stress in your life
Establish healthier habits
To stop feeling scattered and disorganized 24/7.

Hey, I’m Haley. Wife, mom, high school history teacher, and encouragement blogger over at @gracefulandfree. For the last several years, I struggled to find a healthy work-life balance. I was overcommitted, refused to say no, and worked a lot. Sacrificing my sleep and my joy, just to hustle harder, all while feeling extremely stressed and overwhelmed. And then, I became a mom, and I knew something had to give.

Through embracing a positive mindset, I have found balance and established boundaries to protect my peace, so that I can live every day as the best version of yourself.

So what do you say? It is time to stop feeling unmotivated, and time to say YES to living confidently, every single day, no matter what may come your way.

How to Celebrate The Small Things & Feel Like A Kid Again!

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 04:15:00 -0400

Do you ever think to yourself, man if I could only go back and experience certain moments of life as a kid all over again. To have that abundant childlike joy, to be able to dream without knowing fear, to laugh without a care, to love with no end. As we grow up we find ourselves losing that sense of magic, that care for joy, and sheer innocence of living life to the fullest. Instead, we focus on the worries, the logistics, the structure, all working to find a solution to the chaos. But what if we could go back, what if we could hit the factory reset button to our own self and get that feeling back. The childlike joy, the childlike belief, that childlike feeling of magic. I believe that feeling is possible and today that is what we are going to do. Sharing tips and tricks that you need in order to truly celebrate the small things and feel like a kid again! You looking for more joy in your life, well then let's feel encouraged in today's episode.

Advice For First Year Teachers - 15 Tips For New Teachers To Make Your First Year Teaching Less Stressful

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 04:15:00 -0400

Whether we like to admit it or not summer is here and then gone before we know it and all of the attention turns back to school.

As a teacher myself, it can be challenging to not view the days of July as a dreaded countdown to where everything begins again with a brand new school year.

As teaching is the number one passion of mine, and the back to school season is one of my most favorite times of the year, say hello to new outfits, school supplies, and all things new beginnings, I thought what could be more fitting than a back to school series on the Podcast.

So the next few episodes will be devoted to all things Back To School.

So where are all my mama and teacher friends - these episodes are specifically in dedication to you.

To officially kick start this Back to School series - I want to dedicate an entire episode to the NEW TEACHERS.

So whether you have been teaching for a few years, this year is the very beginning of your start as a classroom teacher, or you have been teaching for a while but are in need of a little motivation / teaching inspiration this episode is for you!

Prepare your hearts because this is going to be good!
