The constant overwhelm, disorganisation, insomnia, misdiagnosed anxiety, previous EDs, inability to focus, forgetfulness, object permanence meaning I literally forget people exist! I’ve worked so hard to hide all these years, and working at my job has given me so much freedom to avoid being overwhelmed.

According to Holly, the turning point was having son Alpha Jax born in June 2023, who she shares with husband Jacob Blyth. “It’s only since I’ve become a parent and have been running my businesses full time that I’ve come to realize I’m not actually functioning well. To the point where I was wondering if I would fail my business if I only got a good night’s sleep in 2024 if I exercise for three hours per week.

“These last six months have been very intense, and I wouldn’t have known if it weren’t for the other women who are going through this,” I said. She concluded: “I would absolutely love any tips that you have found helpful to keep organised and be less overwhelmed”.
