How can you navigate the fine line between accountability and over-responsibility?

As high achievers, we often pride ourselves on taking ownership of outcomes. But what happens when this strength becomes a double-edged sword? Have you ever felt like you're carrying the weight of things far beyond your control?

In this episode of Success Genius, I dive into a critical mindset shift that could redefine your approach to responsibility. We'll explore how to identify when you're crossing into over-responsibility, understand the neuroscience behind this common trap, and unpack strategies to protect your energy, relationships, and mental well-being.

Join me as I share practical tools like the Circle of Control exercise and three powerful questions to recalibrate your sense of responsibility. It’s not about doing less; it’s about owning the right things, letting go of the rest, and thriving as a leader, entrepreneur, and human.

If you're ready to achieve more without sacrificing your peace of mind, this episode is for you.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The neuroscience behind why we tend to take blame for things beyond our control
• Hidden costs of over-responsibility, including energy depletion, relationship strain, and health impacts
• Practical tools like the Circle of Control exercise to release unnecessary burdens
