You’re not overwhelmed because you lack balance.

You’re overwhelmed because you’ve been spending yourself in places that don’t return anything to you.

This episode isn’t about tips for better rest.

It’s about emotional preservation — and what it takes to stay intact when the world keeps asking for more than you have to give.

Inside, we’ll unpack:

  • Why certain conversations cost you more than others
  • How to spot the signs of emotional override in your body
  • What it really looks like to preserve your capacity (without disappearing)
  • Why protecting your peace isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom

This is for the high-functioning woman who’s always okay… until she’s not.

Let’s stop calling it balance. Let’s start naming what it really is.
