35. Stop Over Delivering: It’s Self-Abandonment & It’s Keeping You Stuck

Are you constantly going above and beyond… and still feeling exhausted, resentful, or not enough?In this week’s Rules I Refuse to Follow, Hannah dismantles the belief that you must prove your worth by over delivering. For high-achieving women and female leaders, “going above and beyond” is often praised but beneath it can be anxiety, low self-worth, and a nervous system chasing safety through external approval.Over delivering isn’t always generosity. Sometimes, it’s self-abandonment dressed up as excellence.In this episode, you’ll learn how to:Recognize when over delivering is coming from anxiety and the need for approvalUnderstand how this pattern fuels burnout and quiet resentment in your business and relationshipsShift into divine feminine leadership, giving from desire and overflow instead of duty and fearIf you’re ready to stop buying appreciation with your exhaustion and start leading with clean, boundaried power, press play.Rules I Refuse to Follow is a recurring weekly segment where I unpack the unspoken rules successful women are expected to follow in business, relationships, and daily life… and lovingly burn them to the MF ground. These are the rules that keep us stuck in loops of anxiety, overdrive, low self worth, and disconnected from the truth of who we are (which is how they want us, so rebel with me ladies).New episodes every Wednesday & Sunday at 8am ETGet immediate free access to The Return JourneyFive 10-minute audio activations rooted in devotion to self, designed to release the overwhelm of anxiety and self-doubt, while activating embodied feminine leadership.DM Hannah on Instagram @somasomawitheaseThis podcast explores the deep connection between female leadership and the power of Divine Feminine Energy, helping the high-achiever and entrepreneur move beyond anxiety, exhaustion, overwhelm and imposter syndrome, by exploring emotional intelligence, connection, and the art of receiving.All while unpacking patterns like codependency, control, and resentment, and offering tools to regulate the nervous system, reconnect with intuition, and move toward clarity, confidence and trust, all while celebrating ambition, creativity, pleasure, abundance, and the grounding wisdom of somatics to find joy and transformation through alignment.
