I opened Google Docs at 9am and just started typing. Bullet points, random thoughts, full-on word vomit. My brain was spiraling about something I actually WANTED for my son—sending him to Montessori.I'd been dreaming about this since he was a baby. But as the start date got closer? How will I work with only 2 hours to myself? What if I can't handle being in mom mode all morning? What if I become that overstimulated, impatient version of myself I hate?In this episode, I walk you through my actual brain dump from February—the fears, the scheduling panic, the limiting beliefs, and exactly how I used strategic journaling to process it all instead of just white-knuckling through.You'll hear:<ul><li>Why wanting something can still feel terrifying (and what that means)</li><li>The two things I did OUTSIDE of journaling that regulated my nervous system before the change even happened</li><li>How to untangle "I'm excited" from "I'm overwhelmed" when they're happening at the same time</li></ul> If you're staring down a major schedule change—less childcare, a new job, homeschooling, or just life throwing you a curveball—this will help you move from "I can't do this" to "okay, I can figure this out."Next Tuesday, Part 2 drops with the real update after a month of living this new reality. Did I spiral? Thrive? Find my flow? You'll find out.<h2>Ready to work together?</h2><ul><li>Book a free Clarity Call → <a href="https://calendly.com/samanthasays/clarity-call" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://calendly.com/samanthasays/clarity-call</a></li><li>Reserve 1:1 coaching (2 spots open) → <a href="https://www.samanthapenkoff.com/privatecoaching" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.samanthapenkoff.com/privatecoaching</a></li></ul> Connect: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/samantha.s.says" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CoachSamanthaHawley/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>
