Randomness Is Rude

from My Happy Ass Life · host Karen Smith

This episode is for all my fellow over-schedulers, over-doers, and helpers who forget to ask for help. Today, we’re talking about what it really means to take personal responsibility for our overwhelming situations.Inspired by a story from Brendan Burchard, I reflect on how showing up late or without intention can affect those around us more than we realize. I open up about the seasons in my life where I had zero margin, how I’ve learned to raise my hand for help (instead of volunteering for one more thing), and how creating structure has changed my world for the better.We’ll talk about faith, boundaries, burnout, and what happens when you finally stop saying yes to everything and start planning with purpose. I also share my journey with finances, grief, and the hard-earned wisdom of learning to show up for myself, on time and with love.Episode Highlights:[2:00] Courageously Honest About What You Want[3:00] Brendan Burchard’s “Randomness is Rude” Story[5:00] Overcommitment and Why Helpers Need Help Too[7:00] Personal Accountability and Making Room for Margin[9:00] COVID, Grief, and How Loss Changed My Life[11:00] Raising Your Hand for Help Instead of One More Task[12:30] Financial Responsibility and Learning the Hard Way[15:00] The Power of Planning, Details, and Follow-Through[17:00] The Affirmation: I Am AccountableSpecial Thanks to Our Sponsors🏡 Beachy Beach Real EstateKindness and integrity in every home sold.📞 (850) 233-4351🛠 The Final Touch Design – Skip & Marsha WhalCustom remodels and dream-worthy outdoor kitchens.📞 (850) 588-6142📊 Bay TaxSave big with cost segregation & ERC benefits.📧 [email protected]🎧 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube📲 Follow along @MyHappyAssLife📝 Presented by ADF Media
