If you’re being honest, how often do you find yourself taking on the responsibilities of others?

Maybe you’ve gotten into the habit of doing most of the household and parenting tasks because you fear they won’t get done otherwise. Or maybe you’re the one who always offers to pick up extra projects at work. You’re always busy doing things for others and heaven forbid you ask for help *gasp*!

In today’s episode, we discuss why overfunctioning is actually a disservice to ourselves and those we love.

I also coach you through 5 telltale signs that you’re stuck in a pattern of overfunctioning so you can consciously make a decision to show up in a way that better serves you and your family in the long run.
