Is your life crowded with commitments that drain you?

In this essential episode, Eryn Foster challenges the cultural badge of busyness, arguing that constantly saying "yes" to everything is actually a quiet, resentful "no" to your true priorities.

Drawing on wisdom from Seneca to Steve Jobs, Eryn explains the opportunity cost of your time and attention. You'll learn the difference between a full life (curated and purposeful) and a crowded life (stuffed with guilt), and why setting a boundary is the most powerful act of self-love.

Key takeaways:

• Protect Your Energy: Boundaries are your "fence posts," shifting your focus from time management to vital energy management.

• The Guilt-Free "No": Your self-worth is inherent, not earned through exhaustion. Stop tying your value to your usefulness.

• Practical Tools: Learn to use the "Pause and Pivot" and the "Hell Yes or No" Filter to create the margin needed for peace.

Stop letting others write your script. Say "no" to the wrong things to create the space to say an enthusiastic "yes" to what truly matters.
