Overcommitted - Why Do We Do This To Ourselves?!

from Somewhat Aligned · host Somewhat Aligned

You said yes again, didn't you? Maybe it felt exciting in the moment. Maybe you didn't want to let anyone down. Maybe you genuinely thought you could squeeze it in. And now you're staring down a week that's way too full, running on fumes, and quietly resenting every single thing you agreed to. Nikki and Sammi are diving into the overcommitment spiral — why we do it, what it costs us, and how to catch the warning signs before you hit the wall. They unpack the feeling that creeps in before burnout officially arrives — the low-grade dread, the fraying edges, the moment your calendar starts to feel like a threat. And they get honest about the deeper reasons we keep saying yes when everything in us is screaming no. People pleasing. Fear of missing out. The belief that being busy means being worthy. Because here's the truth — a full schedule isn't the same as a full life. And learning to protect your energy before you crash isn't selfish. It's survival. This one's for anyone who's ever cancelled plans, cried in the car, or whispered "why did I agree to this" while getting ready to show up anyway. Living in alignment... somewhat.
