We tried to record a completely different episode and couldn't do it. We were exhausted and creatively tapped out, yet our instinct was still to push through. That failed recording led us into a conversation about overfunctioning, what drives each of us to keep doing, and what we lose when a full life becomes too full.

IN THIS EPISODE:

☀️ Why we can become overwhelmed even when we're saying yes to things we genuinely want

☀️ The signs that tell each of us we've gone past our capacity

☀️ How productivity and being useful connect to our identities in different ways

☀️ What asking for help has looked like for each of us

☀️ Why we've managed to turn even rest and meditation into things to optimize

☀️ How we're thinking differently about balance during busy seasons
