123. Just Because You’re Capable Doesn’t Mean You Have to Do It All

In today’s episode, I’m diving into the topic of breaking free from the "capable one" trap. I’m sharing my own journey of learning that just because I can do it all doesn’t mean I should. This shift has been transformational in my personal and professional life, and I know it can be for you too. If you're someone who's always been praised for being the one who "does it all," it’s time to redefine what success and productivity mean.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why being the “capable one” can be a trap – I share my personal experience of feeling overwhelmed despite being praised for being able to do everything.

• How hyper-independence is sabotaging your happiness – We dive into the psychology behind why many of us struggle to ask for help and how that leads to burnout.

• 5 actionable tips to start letting go of the “do it all” mindset – From taking an inventory of what you’re carrying to setting boundaries and learning to say no without guilt, I’ve got practical steps to help you release the weight.

• How to rebuild your identity beyond “doing it all” – Discover how to live a life that’s grounded in who you are, not just what you can handle.
