    #159 Signs stress is running your life (and what to do about it) - What are you committed to series - Part 1

    In today’s episode, we kick off a powerful 3-part series called What Are You Committed To? by diving into why so many of us, especially women, are addicted to overwhelm. Do you ever feel like you can’t slow down without guilt, or that feeling pressured and stressed are your default modes? There’s a reason for that—and it’s not just about having too much to do. It’s about cultural programming that’s taught us to tie our self-worth to productivity, self-sacrifice, and saying “yes” even when it hurts. In this episode, we’ll unpack how society sets women up to feel like they have to be everything to everyone, why this leads to burnout and overwhelm, and, most importantly, how to start breaking free. If you’re ready to stop feeling trapped in a cycle of stress and learn how to find peace, this episode is for you. You’ll Learn: The subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways we’re programmed to associate our worth with productivity and self-sacrifice. Common signs you’re in overwhelm—and what to do when you recognize them. A daily reset practice to help you pause, assess, and realign with what really matters.
