126 – Doing Everything for Everyone? 5 Telltale Signs You’re Overfunctioning

from Alive & Well – Nervous System, Productivity, Time Management, Somatic Tools, Work-Life Balance, Burnout, Anxiety · host Michelle Grosser

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*!   We can try to convince ourselves that we do so out of love and service, but overfunctioning is often a coping mechanism for our anxiety and insecurities.   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.   TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ!   FB COMMUNITY: The Calm Mom Collective   JOIN ME ON INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach   “I love The Calm Mom Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!--🧠 What's your capacity pattern? Take the free 2-minute quiz and unlock The Capacity Code — a personalized private podcast episode for your specific nervous system. → Take the Capacity Pattern Quiz
