In this heartfelt episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Tara Sun, author of Overbooked and Overwhelmed, shares her raw, real experience navigating the chaos of modern life. Tara's story resonates with anyone who's felt the pressure of saying "yes" to everything and how it often leads to burnout and overwhelm. She reflects on the importance of saying "no" without guilt, learning that each "yes" means saying no to something else—whether it's family time, personal rest, or sanity. Tara dives into the concept of limitations being liberating, and how the pressure to keep up with hustle culture often leaves us with little space to breathe or connect with what truly matters.

With a focus on reclaiming space for what’s important, Tara offers practical wisdom on how to slow down in a world that encourages constant busyness. From learning to rest in God’s presence to battling social media comparison, this conversation is an empowering call to reconsider how we prioritize our time. For anyone trying to juggle life’s many demands while staying grounded, this episode is for you. Tara's vulnerability and insight remind us all that we don’t have to do it all—and that sometimes, saying "no" is the most powerful choice we can make.
