...with Being Everyone’s Emergency Contact

In this episode of I Am Practically Done, Dr. Shena Dixon Mason, Esq. goes after the “strong one” role—being the person everyone calls, texts, and pings the second something goes wrong. Professionally, you spend your days in “got a minute?” mode, jumping from one fire to the next while your real CEO work waits. Personally, you are overstimulated, under‑rested, and starting to resent people you actually love. Financially, you are trading deep, focused, revenue‑driving time for a constant stream of low‑value emergencies that don’t even belong to you. Shena breaks down how compulsive rescuing is disguised as leadership, calls out the lie that “they can’t handle it without me,” and gives listeners a simple triage rule and one real‑life script to start setting limits—without burning every bridge in the process.
