09: Who Am I If I Stop Pushing

In this episode of Banish the Lies, Tania reflects on a moment many of us know well, realizing that a deadline, a push, or a sense of pressure is entirely self-imposed.As the planned podcast launch date approached, old patterns surfaced. Insomnia, anxiety, and the familiar urge to push harder at all costs. What started as a logistical decision about timing quickly revealed something deeper: an identity shaped by productivity, discipline, and the belief that stopping means failing.Tania explores the discomfort that arises when we loosen our grip on deadlines, adjust a plan, or choose rest instead of force. She shares how questioning a launch date became an invitation to question a much bigger story, who we believe we are if we’re not the person who always pushes through.This episode is an honest reflection on self-imposed pressure, perfectionism, and the courage it takes to pause without turning it into a character flaw. It’s a reminder that flexibility, grace, and choice are not signs of weakness, but acts of self-trust.Send me a message
