In this episode, I get real about something that quietly triggers me... lack of awareness, over-functioning, and the pressure of always being the one who thinks ahead, fixes, anticipates, and carries more than I should.
But here’s the twist…
This isn’t just about other people.
It’s about perfectionism.
Control disguised as efficiency.
And the emotional weight of being the “reliable one.”
We’re talking about:Â
✨ Common sense vs competence
✨ Why over-functioning leads to exhaustion
✨ The perfectionist trap of “I’ll just do it myself”
✨ And learning to lead with grace instead of frustration
Because growth isn’t about controlling every situation.
It’s about awareness, softness, and trusting that you don’t have to carry everything alone.
If you’re the one who reads the room, anticipates problems, and gets mentally tired before anything even happens…
This episode will hit home.
