What happens when the weight of the world feels too heavy?

by Rebecca Ryan
Oct 12, 2025

 

Hello Friend,

I’ll be honest — this past week has been really hard for me.

I’ve felt an overwhelming heaviness, like the depression and anxiety I’ve worked so hard to manage have been creeping back in. I found myself slipping into old patterns — doubting myself, beating myself up, feeling like I wasn’t enough.

And then, at work, I took something way too personally in a team meeting. It wasn’t meant as an attack, but I was already in a negative headspace, so it felt like one. I spent the rest of the day struggling to keep it together — so unlike me.

I know I'm not alone in this.

I spoke with my therapist, who told me many people are feeling the weight right now.  I meet weekly with an amazing group of women for business accountability, and I wasn't the only one struggling.

So, I wrote about it.

In this week's blog post, I'm opening up about what happens when the world feels heavy — and how we can start shifting the weight, one small moment at a time.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in negativity, you won’t want to miss this blog post.

  • Why small acts of kindness matter more than we realize
  • How to shift from fear and mistrust to confidence and hope

The dance you might be missing.
  Hello Friend, The other night, I watched my youngest son break into an impromptu dance in the cool evening air — barefoot, pajama-clad, and completely free. No fear of judgment. No second-guessing. Just pure, unfiltered joy. It made me stop and think: When did we, as adults, forget how to dance with life? Lately, I’ve been doing some deep work — learning to loosen my grip, trust Universal Int...
April Fools? Nope—just my blog disappearing before 6 a.m.
  Hello Friend, I woke up early this morning, ready to start April with good vibes and intention. I even did a little breathwork and meditation — you know, opening up to all that fresh spring abundance the Universe has to offer. Then I sat down at my computer. I was mid-reply to a sweet social media comment when I realized something was… off. The blog post I’d poured my heart into? Gone. Poof. ...

  Hello Friend,  Have you ever felt like life suddenly leveled up on you — without asking permission first? I thought this season would be my chance to finally show up more — for my business, my family, and myself. But instead, I found myself staring down a mountain of responsibilities, feeling like I was one step away from a total meltdown. One day last week, I hesitated before replying to a s...
