Have you ever felt that being highly competent and organized can sometimes feel like a double-edged sword? If so, you're not alone.  

 In our latest episode, Kemi addresses a listener's letter about the challenges of being overly competent in the workplace. Kemi dives into this concept, which she refers to as the "talent trap," and discusses how demonstrating competence can sometimes lead to being overworked and under-supported. Tune in to discover practical strategies for setting boundaries, advocating for your needs, and managing your career phases effectively.  

 This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by their own excellence and looking for strategies to balance their workload while maintaining high standards.
