I Tried To Do It All And All I Got Was Crock Pot Burnout

Send a text

If “I got it” is your default answer, this conversation hits home. We dig into the messy middle of control, guilt, and the quiet fear that asking for help will expose a flaw. From the hourly-rate mindset that finally breaks the “I’ll just do it” loop to the tougher shift of sharing the mental load at home, we trade performative perfection for practical ways to breathe again.

We start with the honest reasons delegating feels impossible—pride dressed up as standards, the urge to protect others from our to-do list, and the belief that training takes longer than doing. Then we walk through a clean framework: price your time, document the basics, define “done,” and hire for strengths you don’t have. On the home front, we talk about reframing help as love, not judgment; renegotiating household roles without shame; and protecting the time you gain by using it for connection, not more hustle. Crock pot confessions included.

There’s also a candid look at comparison culture. Social feeds can make it seem like everyone else bakes sourdough, runs a company, and hosts storybook dinners nightly. We call that out and focus on what matters: reliability over performance, micro-delegation over martyrdom, and modeling healthy boundaries for our kids. The payoff isn’t abstract—more presence, less resentment, and a life built around the few things only you can do.

Your small step: ask one person for one piece of help this week. Tell us what you hand off and how it goes. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs permission to let go, and leave a quick review so more people find the conversation.
