In this episode Dr. Whitney Casares, a pediatrician and author, discusses the pressures and challenges faced by Gen X women, in motherhood and business. She talks about the concept of over-functioning, where women consistently do more than their fair share in various aspects of life. She so generously shares strategies for making a shift and reprogramming one's life to focus on what truly matters and why that is key to being a great mom. We explore different categories of overfunctioning, including priorities, obligations, contaminators, and heartstrings. She also encourages moms to be curious about what brings them joy and to give themselves permission to pivot and change their priorities over time. The conversation also highlights the need for self-boundaries, self-care, and self-compassion.
