Do you question your self-worth if you’re not always hustling? Do you wear being “busy” as a badge of honor despite being in a constant state of burnout?

Deb McCollom returns for a girlfriend chat about letting go of the constant need to overextend yourself. We grow up believing that if we’re not always padding our calendar, then we’re lazy and not doing enough to succeed. When our friends ask how we’re doing, we quickly answer “busy” without honestly reflecting on how we feel. Although it is normal to have a full life and many passions, it is also okay to relax and fill your space with the things that bring you joy.

Tune into today’s episode of Self-Love for Breakfast for an honest conversation about simplifying your schedule. Learn how to separate your worth from your hustle, take a break when needed, and realize that the world isn’t over if you stop doing the “most.”
