In this episode, we dive into the mindset of the overachiever the person who feels they have to constantly “do” in order to be valued. I talk about how this pattern often starts in childhood, when love and praise become tied to achievement, and how it later shows up in friendships, work, and relationships. We’ll explore the connection between overachieving, people‑pleasing, and FOMO, and how this cycle leads to burnout, resentment, and feeling unappreciated. Most importantly, we’ll discuss why it’s not selfish to protect your energy, say “no,” and give from a place of overflow instead of depletion.
