Your Odyssey Podcast

Breaking up with Superhuman Mode

Listen Later

We’ve all worn the cape. The one that says you can do it all, hold it all, fix it all. From the outside, it looks powerful. On the inside, it’s exhausting.

 

In this episode of Your Odyssey Podcast, Tara and Karen explore what it means to finally break up with Superhuman mode — the overfunctioning, overachieving, always-on identity that culture celebrates but our bodies and hearts can’t sustain.

 

You’ll hear:

  • The lies that keep us striving to be Superhuman (“I’m the only one who can do it right,” “Rest is weakness”)
  • The real cost of over-functioning — in our health, our relationships, and our sense of self
  • What it looks like to choose wholeness instead: asking for help, saying no without guilt, and resting as resistance 

    • Whether you’re burned out from hustle culture, tired of carrying everyone else’s weight, or simply ready to put the cape down, this conversation is your reminder: you don’t have to be Superhuman to be worthy. Being human is enough.
