Description

In today's episode, I'm sharing one of my most frustrating habits: overcommitting.

I tell a recent story involving a great opportunity, a good friend, and the hard realisation that sometimes saying no is actually the smart, strategic thing to do — even when everything looks perfectly aligned.

You'll hear:

• Why I keep falling into this trap (spoiler: it's not poor planning)
• What makes some "yeses" harder than others
• A few practical tools I'm using to course-correct
• Why busyness ≠ success (even if the world keeps telling us otherwise)

Got a toxic trait of your own? I’d love to hear it. Send me a voice note.
