Does any of this sound familiar?
- You think about everything on your plate and instantly feel flooded.
- You make a giant to-do list to get organized, then freeze at the size of it
- You spend your days in fire-fighting mode, never clear on what truly matters.
- The kitchen counter has been "a project for this weekend" for nine weekends running.
- You collapse into bed, exhausted and frustrated, wondering why nothing actually moved forward.
- You crave clarity and support, but don’t have hours to figure it out on your own.
If you nodded to even one of these?
Overwhelm to Action LIVE was built for you.
We begin October 8, 2026.

Overwhelm Doesn't Look The Same For Everyone
Four overwhelm patterns repeatedly appear in ADHD brains. Many of us default to a primary type and shift to a secondary type depending on the situation.
Knowing your type(s) helps identify which supports work best for you.
The Lion
The determined leader who often pushes themselves past capacity into burnout.
The Gazelle
The agile adapter who stays in motion, keeping busy with everything but the main task.
The Turtle
The meticulous planner who prepares thoroughly and often gets stuck before starting.
The Chameleon
The empathetic supporter who takes care of everyone and runs low on themselves.
Inside Overwhelm to Action LIVE, you’ll identify and work with your type, learn its specific triggers, and develop a personalized Overwhelm Dashboard that best supports how your brain navigates overwhelm.
Overwhelm is Feedback. Your Brain Wants Different Support.
We Build Those Supports Together, In Overwhelm to Action LIVE
I wonder if you can relate… It’s 3 pm on a Tuesday, and the to-do list has gotten away from you. You know there’s a strategy that would help you start, but you’re too flooded to remember how it works, let alone identify what matters most.
The truth is, going from 0 to 1% is the hardest part. That first bit of movement often looks so small our brains skip right past it, which keeps us spinning for weeks.
That’s where Overwhelm to Action LIVE comes in. Every other week we meet for group coaching and work through whatever’s keeping you stuck. Between calls, a private community gives you room to practice the strategies with people doing the same work alongside you.
That’s how we get to 1%. Once you can spot overwhelm building, regulate your system enough to think clearly, and find one small, doable step, you start trusting yourself to move forward sustainably, knowing you have supports in place for the next time overwhelm strikes.

I’ve been stuck in an overwhelm loop for so long with strategies that didn’t work. Overwhelm to Action provides tangible strategies I can actually use to move forward, even when I’m lost in a fog. I feel like a new person.
Actionable Course | Live Coaching | Supportive Community
We’ve all tried stitching together tips from books, podcasts, and YouTube. Usually, the moment overwhelm hits, they fall apart.
That’s where Overwhelm to Action LIVE comes in.
This 7-week immersive experience combines:
- The self-paced Overwhelm to Action course, yours for life
- Live coaching calls every other week, with recordings sent within 48 hours
- A private community for accountability and connection
By the end of the seven weeks, you’ll have a repeatable, ADHD-friendly framework that helps you calm the chaos in the moment, reset your system, and take the next doable step forward.
What's Inside Overwhelm to Action LIVE?
The Course:
Self-paced, watch when it works for you
Live Coaching:
Four 60-minute calls, every other week, one per module. Thursdays, 4:00-5:00 pm Central Time (Check time zone)

- Coaching & Community: Coaching with Paula happens on the four live calls. The community is where you practice in between, with guided reflection questions and group support along the way.
Overwhelm to Action has helped me move through blocks that have kept me stuck for so long. It has been so hard to know what to do first when everything feels like priority #1. This course helped me understand actions I can take to get unstuck and how to move through what I was procrastinating on.
Here's How It Works
$347 in full, or two monthly payments of $174.
What if you locked these in before the holidays begin?
Sustainable progress with ADHD tends to show up first in small, specific ways.
Here’s the shape it typically takes over seven weeks.
By Week 3
You can name what’s happening when overwhelm hits. The flooding still happens at times, but rather than seeing it as a personal failure, you now recognize it as a pattern, making it easier to interrupt.
By Week 5
You have specific steps you can take in ten minutes or less when overwhelm takes over. If Tuesday ever goes off the rails, you know how to get back on track.
By Week 7
You’ve built your full regulate-and-reset system for your overwhelm type. You’re no longer frozen at the start. Instead, you head into December with clear next steps and a simple, supportive plan you can return to whenever things fill up.
That’s what we’re doing together over seven weeks in Overwhelm to Action LIVE.
What Stays With You After The Seven Weeks
What It's Like To Get Coached In A Group
Group coaching is here to meet you where you are.
Each call follows a version of this format:
- Open with a quick recap of that module’s materials.
- I ask who wants coaching.
- People raise their Zoom hands.
- I pace the call to coach as many people as I can.
There are two primary ways clients engage in my group programs, and both approaches do well.
Some come with a specific topic they want to explore, and we work through it together.
Others like to lean back. They join, listen to the coaching, and take what applies to them. There’s no pressure to speak. Plus, the topics people bring are often the same ones you’ve been thinking about, too.
As Rich from this summer’s We’re Busy Being Awesome cohort described:
Being in this group, I never realized I could relate to so many people who have similar thoughts as I do. If you want to feel “seen” and work alongside high-performing, super-driven ADHD brains, this is the community to be in!

Have Questions?
No problem! We record every call and post the replay within 48 hours so you can watch on your own time.
You can still ask your question, too. For each module, I post a Questions Thread in the community. Drop your question there, and I’ll address as many as I can on the call, either directly or through someone else’s coaching on the same topic.
Our four coaching calls run from 4:00-5:00 pm Central Time on Thursdays, October 8 through November 19, one every other week:
- October 8: Coaching Call on Module 1
- October 22: Coaching Call on Module 2
- November 5: Coaching Call on Module 3
- November 19: Coaching Call on Module 4
Each call is 60 minutes, and that gap between sessions gives you space to work through the material and practice what you’re learning before we meet again.
The private community opens earlier and stays open later than the calls, running October 6 through November 30, so you have room to connect before we start and after we wrap.
Yes! You can join for $347 or two monthly payments of $174.
The course has four modules, each broken into short, digestible videos you can watch on your own schedule:
- Module 1: about 30 minutes (3 videos)
- Module 2: about 1 hour (5 videos)
- Module 3: about 1 hour 45 minutes (7 videos)
- Module 4: about 1 hour 15 minutes (6 videos)
That’s roughly 4.5 hours of course content, which we’ll explore over seven weeks: roughly 30-45 minutes per week. (Less if your brain prefers watching at 1.5x speed. 
)
Additionally, there are four live 60-minute coaching calls, one per module, spread across the seven weeks.
Not at all. You’re welcome to show up and just listen. Many people discover so much about themselves and what they need by hearing others get coaching on similar topics.
There’s also a middle option. You can drop your question in the Zoom chat instead of raising your hand, and I’ll speak to as many questions as I can.
Do what feels most comfortable for you.
Not at all. This program is built for anyone who recognizes these overwhelm patterns in themselves, whether they have a formal diagnosis or experience ADHD tendencies.
The community lives on Podia, the same platform that hosts your course. Your videos, workbook, and the community are all in one place; there’s no extra app to download or place to check. 
The community is where you’ll practice between calls, compare notes with others in the group, and connect with people navigating the same things you are.
Coaching with me (Paula) happens on our four live calls, so if something comes up as you practice, raise your hand on our next session! We can dive in and smooth out the friction together.
Yep, I’ve been there, too. That’s why I built this experience differently.
Overwhelm to Action LIVE is built around learning and practicing these skills with live support along the way. Between bi-weekly group coaching calls and a private community, there are opportunities to ask questions, create accountability, and smooth out any friction as you discover what works best for you.
Yes! If you already purchased the course, check your email for a separate offer that adds the live coaching and community at a special price. Don’t see the information? Send me an email paula @ imbusybeingawesome.com, and I’ll send it over.

Let's do this - $347Hey, I'm Paula.
ADHD coach, podcast host, and your guide to moving from overwhelm to sustainable action.
The truth is, I’m no stranger to overwhelm. It felt like a constant, very unwelcome companion through much of my adult life.
Before becoming a coach, I was a scattered professor buried under endless to-do lists, anxiety-fueled deadlines, and a whole lot of “just try harder.”
I spent years chasing every planner, app, and productivity hack I could find, convinced that if I pushed a little more, I could finally get ahead.
Spoiler alert: “working harder” didn’t work. The overwhelm cycle kept repeating.
Everything shifted in 2016, when I was diagnosed with ADHD. Suddenly, the struggles I’d carried as personal failures finally made sense.
With the right supports, I learned how to work with my ADHD, uncover my strengths, and build systems that actually help my brain.
Now, I help fellow ADHD brains learn to do the same:
✨ Calm the chaos
✨ Navigate big emotions
✨ Take that first doable step forward, building momentum from there.
