Colossal Projects, Overwhelm & Majoring on the Minors #133
In this episode of Buckets and Boom Gates, Jill Olish and Kim White talk about what really happens after you finish something big—a launch, event, course, or massive client project—and instead of feeling amazing, you feel overwhelmed, flat, or oddly anxious. They unpack why your brain crashes after a colossal push and why you suddenly find yourself obsessing over tiny details that don’t really matter. If you’ve ever wondered, “What is wrong with me?” after crossing a big finish line, this conversation will make a lot of sense.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- A clear definition of “colossal” and why certain projects feel massive, impressive, and overwhelming on the inside even if they don’t look huge from the outside
- Why it’s normal to feel exhausted or off after a big push—and what’s going on in your body and brain when the adrenaline drops
- What “majoring on the minors” looks like in real life: getting lost in low‑impact tasks and details to avoid facing deeper fatigue or next steps
- A simple three‑part framework (recover, review, refocus) for landing the plane after a big project without spiraling into shame or burnout
- Practical, small actions you can take to decompress, sort your priorities, and choose one meaningful next move instead of drowning in busywork
Jill and Kim normalize the post‑project crash and explain why finishing something colossal often leaves you feeling more overwhelmed than victorious. They show how your nervous system, expectations, and habits of “majoring on the minors” all collide in that space—and how to respond with recovery, honest review, and gentle refocus instead of self‑attack. You’ll leave with two simple practices you can use after your next big push to protect your confidence and realign with what actually matters.
Love Ya’ll,
Kim & Jill ❤️
