Brilliant Balance

Overcommitted? Try this.

30 Sep 2025

Description

If you feel like your calendar is running your life, this episode is for you. Today, I'm shining a light on a struggle so many ambitious women know all too well…the trap of overcommitment. Why do we automatically say yes before we've even thought things through? How do we stop equating being needed with being valuable? I'm exploring how our standards of what's reasonable might be setting us up for exhaustion, and the profound difference intentionally creating white space in our schedules can make before we desperately need it. I'll share personal stories and real-world strategies to help you slow down the reflexive yes and redefine what's actually reasonable for the seasons of life. If you're ready for more breathing room and less burnout, this episode is your perfect starting point. Show Highlights: The reality of overcommitment. [00:50] Awareness of the automatic "Yes" Reflex.
