🎙️Ask Me Anything – E24: Why Can’t I Keep It All Together Without Crashing?

from Untethering Shame · host Kyira Wackett

In this episode, I respond to a question from an anonymous listener who writes:“Kyira, I feel like I’m always running at 100%, sometimes even 110%, just to keep everything together. I tell myself I’m fine, but then one small thing tips me over and I completely crash. Why does this keep happening, and how do I break the cycle without feeling like I’m failing?”If you’ve ever lived on the edge of burnout, calling it “normal,” you know how exhausting and defeating that cycle can feel. We’re taught that giving our all means giving everything, all the time—but what if the truth is that sustainability actually lives at 80%, not 100?Inside this episode, we’ll talk about:Why our idea of “100% capacity” is rooted in hustle culture and survivalThe crash-and-burn cycle and why it’s not a personal failureWhat it means to treat 80% as the new 100%Practical shifts that help you design a sustainable system for your lifeHow to separate your worth from your outputIf you’ve ever felt like “fine until I’m not fine” is your baseline, this episode is for you.📝 Want to submit a question for a future episode?Nothing is off-limits (well, almost nothing).⁠Submit here⁠ anonymously or with your name — whatever feels safest for you.👉 https://forms.gle/1uYJ87Y2Vag6KYCeA🧠 If this episode spoke to you, share it with someone who might need it. Let’s break the shame cycle — together.Ready to take the next step?Download the FREE handout, “⁠5 Things Shame Resilient People Do Every Day⁠” to start grounding your life in values, not shame.⁠Book a free 25-minute discovery call⁠ to explore personalized coaching or programs that support your next step.Stay Connected:Subscribe on ⁠Spotify⁠ or ⁠Apple⁠, and leave a review to share your thoughts.⁠YouTube⁠⁠Website⁠💬 Rest isn’t laziness—it’s what makes your life sustainable.#AskMeAnything #BurnoutRecovery #ShameResilience #SustainableLiving #AdversityRising
