Do you ever feel like you're doing too much but can't quite figure out how you got here? When one of my teenage daughters introduced me to the phrase "DTM"—doing too much—it got me thinking about how many moms quietly carry more than they need to. Not because they're trying to do it all, but because they care deeply about their families. In this episode, we're talking about why overcommitment often happens one good opportunity at a time, the hidden cost of constantly saying yes and how to protect your time without feeling guilty. You'll learn: Why doing too much doesn't happen overnight How good things can slowly crowd out what matters most Why protecting your time isn't selfish A simple filter to help you decide what deserves your time in this season If you've been feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed or wondering why there's never enough time for yourself, this episode will help you step back, rethink your commitments and create more space for what matters most.
