Let me guess—your house feels loud, your brain feels full, and your to-do list is giving you side-eye again.
Maybe you meant to meal plan this week… but someone got sick, the laundry exploded, and dinner still feels like a mystery.
Take a deep breath—you’re in the right place.
🌼 What Is The Overwhelmed Momma?
This space was born from my own mess—the dishes, the doubt, the deep love for my family mixed with the feeling that I was somehow always behind.
I’m Dana, a homeschooling mom of five, and I created The Overwhelmed Momma to help other moms like me find peace in the chaos. Here, we ditch the pressure to “do it all” and lean into simple rhythms, real food, and encouragement that meets you right where you are.
✨ The Calm & Capable Method
This is the heart of what I teach—a 4-part path to help you reset your home and heart.
1. Reset the Mindset
“You’re not failing. You’re just tired.”
Start with encouragement that speaks to your soul—not hustle talk.

2. Simplify the Systems
Tiny, doable steps that actually fit real mom life.
Think: 10-minute resets, top 3 tasks, rhythm blocks instead of rigid schedules.

3. Nourish with Ease
From-scratch cooking without the pressure.
Simple meals, starter-friendly sourdough, fresh milled flour tips—and plenty of permission to pair it with freezer pizza when needed.

4. Grow with Grace
You don’t have to do it all today.
Start small with gardening, food storage, or scratch cooking—only if and when it serves your family.
