Do you find yourself scanning other people’s moods, replaying conversations and wondering whether someone is upset with you?

In this episode, I’m talking about over-giving, over-functioning and fawning, and how these patterns can quietly leave you burnt out, resentful and disconnected from your own needs.

I explore why being the capable one can become tied to your self-worth, how empathy turns into hyper-awareness, and why asking for help can feel so uncomfortable.

This is not about caring less. It is about bringing some of that care, attention and energy back to yourself.

Highlights:
