You Do You
There's a quiet, persistent tension many of us feel: the pull between wanting to be a 'good' friend, colleague, or family member, and the slow, draining exhaustion of constantly saying yes to things that don't truly serve us. We agree to favors we resent, attend events we dread, or take on tasks that leave us depleted, all to avoid the discomfort of disappointing someone else. This episode unpacks the subtle ways we give away our precious time and energy, often without realizing it, and the hidden cost of living by someone else's script. It’s about recognizing that your emotional and mental capacity isn't limitless, and that every 'yes' to an obligation you don't value is a 'no' to something that truly matters to you. We explore how to identify your own internal compass and, crucially, how to strategically disappoint others in the short term to reclaim your authentic self and long-term peace.
