This week Curt Kempton and Melody Edwards unpack the hidden cost of caring too much as a business owner. They explore how passion, the very thing that fuels success, can quietly turn into exhaustion and resentment when boundaries aren't in place.

Melody shares how taking a week off forced her to see where over-caring had crept in, while Curt reflects on the signs that caring has crossed the line into overextension. Together, they examine what it means to stay invested in your work without letting it consume you.

They discuss:

• How to recognize when caring is causing burnout
• The emotional toll of being “too available”
• What healthy care looks like versus self-sacrifice
• Simple ways to reclaim energy and perspective

This conversation challenges entrepreneurs to look honestly at where their energy goes, and to redefine what it means to lead with heart without burning out.
