THIS IS NOT
NORMAL
You are carrying more than you realize. And no one has taught you how to let it go.
Based on the book Una mochila demasiado llena.
"A team improves when people stop running on autopilot."
Karlos Ximenez
Writer and personal growth speaker.
Author of Una mochila demasiado llena, a project about the invisible weight we carry: emotions, experiences, pressure, and expectations that shape the way we live.
His work centers on a simple but uncomfortable idea: many people are not broken. They are overwhelmed.
His talks connect especially with young people and adults going through change, with a direct, current, and emotional message about learning to let go, understand yourself, and rebuild.
“I am not here to give answers. I am here to make you look at what you are carrying.”
When People Are Well, the Team Works
Behind every team are people. People who show up with pressure, doubts, noise in their heads… and often no space to stop.
These talks begin there. With what we actually live through every day.
They are not talks meant to impress. They are spaces where each person can pause for a moment, look inward, and understand what is happening to them.
Because when someone understands themselves, they work better, communicate better, and feel better.
I am not here to teach from above. I am here to share from lived experience.
There are no perfect speeches or empty phrases here. There are real conversations, the kind people usually do not have at work, but need to have.
We talk about mental load, pressure, self-demand, not being able to keep up with everything… and also how to start managing it differently.
Without making it complicated. Without unnecessary theory.
Una mochila demasiado llena
This book begins with a simple observation: we all carry something inside that we do not know how to let go of.
It is not always visible. But you can feel it.
Anxiety, pressure, fear, expectations, the past… everything ends up piling up like a backpack that weighs more than it should.
This book does not tell you how to be perfect. It helps you understand why you feel so weighed down.
