393: Overfunctioning and Over It: Why Doing More Isn’t Helping


Listen Later

Ever find yourself rage-cleaning the kitchen while everyone else is mysteriously “busy” doing absolutely nothing? Like, how did you become the unpaid manager of everyone’s lives—including the dog’s? 

If your idea of rest is collapsing into bed with a to-do list still running in your head, this episode is your permission slip to stop. We're diving into why doing all the things for your family isn't noble—it’s just exhausting—and how your overachieving ways might actually be making things harder for everyone (including you). 

Laugh, cry, nod aggressively, and walk away with three habits to ditch immediately so you can stop overfunctioning and start breathing again.
