Feeling burnt out from trying to be everything to everyone?
You’re not alone — and you do not have to keep giving a fuck about it all.
In Part 2 of this two-part series, Grace and Boston get real about what it actually looks like to stop people-pleasing, set better boundaries, and take control of your energy in your 20s. From post-marathon burnout to the mental gymnastics of trying to be productive 24/7, they unpack why caring less strategically might just be your secret weapon.
You’ll laugh, reflect, and 100% relate to the raw moments — including Boston being caught mid-burnout staring at a wall 🫠 and Grace's internal monologue telling her to “book the Barry's class” while she’s trying to rest.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
🚫 Signs you’re giving too many fucks — and why it’s so hard to stop
⚖️ How to embrace “seasons” in life (yes, maintenance phases are productive)

👏 Practical tips for setting boundaries and not caving to the guilt
