If your first instinct is to cut the things that nourish you whenever life gets busy, you're not alone.

In this episode, I'm talking about something I've seen in so many women lately and something I've lived through myself. When responsibilities pile up, we tend to sacrifice the very things that keep us grounded, joyful, and well. And we do it quietly, often without questioning whether there's another way.

I share a story about a friend whose instinct was to cancel a dream trip she had trained for, all because everything else felt urgent. It reminded me of a season in my own life when I did the same thing. I let go of the things that were for me, one by one, until I hit a wall.

This episode is a reminder and a practical guide for how to stop overcommitting, protect your energy, and start prioritizing your own needs without guilt.

 

WHAT WE'LL COVER:

✔️ How overcommitment shows up in high-functioning women

✔️ The internal and external pressures that keep you stuck in this pattern

✔️ 3 simple ways to start putting yourself back on the list

✔️ What resentment can teach you about what needs to change
