In this episode of Messy Business, I’m talking about capacity - what it actually is, how it feels when it’s low, and why pushing through isn’t always the answer.

🟠 Motivation and capacity are not the same thing. You can want to do the work and still not have the mental, physical, or nervous-system capacity to hold it - and that doesn’t mean you’re uncommitted or doing anything wrong.

🧡 I share honestly what low capacity has looked like for me over the past couple of years, including grief, burnout, life upheaval, and the unseen exhaustion that builds when you keep overriding yourself.

🟠 You'll hear:

• Why everything feels heavier when capacity is low
• The difference between procrastination and genuine exhaustion
• How resentment builds when you keep pushing past your limits
• Why winter, grief, and the state of the world matter more than we admit
• What “capacity-appropriate” work actually looks like in real life
• Why doing less - with honesty - is often the most sustainable option

🧡 This isn’t a doom-and-gloom episode. It’s about sustainability, trust, and learning to build your business around who you actually are, not who you think you should be.

🟠 If things feel harder than usual right now, you’re not alone. You might just be tired.
