My boss said I 'get overwhelmed easily' and I almost quit ๐Ÿ˜ค


Hi Reader,

The Ambitious Mom Mindset podcast is a good one this week โ€” we are going deep today. In this episode we're diving into:

  • Why you're exhausted even when you're doing everything "right"
  • #1 reason you can't stop doing it all yourself

But first, let me tell you a little story.

Last year I opened my performance review with the confidence of someone who had already written their acceptance speech. I was ready for the five out of five. The "Josie, you are absolutely crushing it" moment.

Instead, I found three words that made my entire body boil.

"Gets overwhelmed easily."

Oh. No he didn't.

I was furious. I was short with my manager for weeks. I was lowkey scrolling job listings. It felt personal.

But here's the kicker โ€” he was right. And that one line of feedback led to the biggest aha moment of my career. It taught me that asking for help isn't weakness. Delegation isn't giving up control. It's actually how you get your time, your energy, and your life back.

The more I delegated, the more time I had. And honestly? The more money I made.

I'm sharing the whole story โ€” plus the deeper subconscious work behind why we can't stop doing it all ourselves โ€” in this week's episode.
