Autumn can feel like a race you never signed up for. In this episode, I’m digging into “do it all” culture, from never-ending work emails to the wave of Autumn and winter traditions everyone seems to expect, like Elf on the Shelf, Boo baskets, and those Instagram-perfect Christmas Eve picnics. I’m sharing how overcommitting can turn even the best intentions into burnout. I’ve learned that doing less isn’t lazy, it’s self-preservation. So I’m walking through practical ways to reclaim your time and stop performing. If you’re fed up with feeling like this time of year is a marathon of more, this one’s for you.
