116. Why We Tie Our Worth to Our Work (and How to Stop)

Welcome to the newly rebranded Alchemy Lab! In today’s episode, we dive deep into a topic that hits close to home for many of us – why doing it all isn't the flex we think it is. If you’ve ever felt the weight of trying to manage everything perfectly, juggle multiple responsibilities, and still feel like you're not doing enough, this episode is for you.

I’m sharing my personal journey of realizing that strength isn’t about handling everything alone, and how redefining strength and success can completely change how we show up in the world.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Redefining Strength: Strength isn’t about doing everything by yourself – it’s about knowing when to ask for help, rest, and embracing vulnerability.

• Why We Tie Our Worth to Our Work: Society often praises over-functioning, self-sacrifice, and "doing it all." I share how this belief led to burnout and what it took to shift that mindset.

• Practical Tips to Let Go of the "Do-It-All" Mindset: You’ll get actionable advice on how to embrace rest, delegate, and allow yourself to be imperfect.

• Redefining Success: It's time to reframe success on your terms – focus on what really matters to you and stop measuring your worth by how much you do.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to constantly hustle, this episode will remind you that your worth is not tied to your productivity, and you don’t need to sacrifice yourself to achieve your goals.
