There comes a point when adding more to your plate stops helping you move forward. You can be working hard, chasing opportunities, and trying to keep everything going, yet still feel like you are running out of room to grow. For many high achieving women, the answer is not always doing more. Sometimes, it is deciding what needs to go. In this episode, I talk about what I call the overgrown syndrome, the belief that more is always better, and how holding onto too many commitments, ideas, and responsibilities can leave little room for the things that actually matter. I also get honest about the beliefs that make letting go so difficult, including the fear of falling behind, confusing busyness with progress, and feeling like saying no means giving up. Then I share three practical ways to start pruning with intention, from identifying what is draining you, to creating a "not now" list, to learning how to say no in a way that protects your time, energy, and focus.
