Today we’re talking about why you don’t need to accomplish things to matter…

A conversation with Maya, a high-achieving mom, shows how our worth can get tied to our task list. As she said, “If I’m not accomplishing something, I feel like I don’t matter.”

We live in a world that prizes busyness, making rest feel like failure and worth tied only to output.

How do we break free? First, notice the voice telling you “I should be doing more.” Then redefine success: maybe it’s holding a boundary or being present for bedtime. Practice being, not just doing—sit with your coffee without scrolling. Anchor your identity in your humanity, not your heroics.

One busy mom said, “I let dishes wait without calling myself lazy,” and found more peace.

You deserve a life where worth isn’t up for reevaluation—where rest, joy, and being enough are part of who you are.
