Welcome back to The In-Between podcast! Today I'm sitting down with Sarah Bolor - a licensed clinical social worker, trauma-informed therapist, and founder of Say It Mental Health. Sarah specializes in working with high-achieving women who are stuck in overdrive, struggling with people-pleasing, boundaries, and the constant pressure to do it all. We're getting real about why the culture of "having it all" is exhausting, what's actually costing you when you say yes to everything, and practical strategies to reclaim your peace.
