The Cost of Carrying Everyone: How Over-Functioning Is Making  You Sick and Stuck


Listen Later

What if your exhaustion isn't due to laziness or a lack of motivation but because you've unknowingly become the overworked, unpaid CEO of everyone's life?

 

You're not alone in feeling this way. You're not tired because you're weak. You're exhausted because you're carrying the weight of multiple lives, including a golden retriever, and the emotional burden of your group chat, while rage-washing dishes, whispering, "It's fine" through clenched teeth.

 

Let's be real. Overfunctioning isn't sustainable. Emotional CrossFit is not a life plan. Doing everything isn't noble—it's exhausting.

 

I've lived this, and I'm sharing the mindset shifts and practical steps that helped me break free from overfunctioning and finally breathe again. Let's do less, live better, and take back our peace.
