Are you the person everyone depends on, yet secretly feel exhausted from carrying it all?
What happens when being the strong one starts costing you your peace, energy, and sense of self?
In this powerful episode of Breaking Curses with Excellence, host Christina Russell-Strong welcomes Kamia Hayes, Capacity Liberation Specialist, author, and MSW Candidate, for an honest conversation about overfunctioning, burnout, boundaries, and learning to reclaim your capacity.
Kamia is the founder of Capacity Liberation Group™ and author of It's Trash Day, a book encouraging women to release the responsibilities and expectations they were never meant to carry.
As a wife, mother of six, full-time claims professional, and graduate student in social work, Kamia understands firsthand the challenges of balancing responsibility, purpose, and personal well-being.
In this conversation, we explore:
- The hidden cost of always being the strong one.
- Why being capable doesn't mean you have to carry everything.
- Breaking cycles of overfunctioning and burnout.
- Creating healthy boundaries without guilt.
- Releasing responsibilities that no longer serve you.
- Learning to steward your energy, time, and capacity.
"Capacity isn't something you expand. It's something you steward." — Kamia Hayes
Sometimes breaking cycles means recognizing that you don't have to sacrifice yourself to show up for everyone else.
