If this is the outcome of you not caring what you wrote this week, then I almost hope you feel this more often (just without all the background stressors) because I know I'm not the only one hungry for more rough, conversational stories what someone's day or week has been like and the impact its had as if you were telling us it from across the table in a pub with a glass of wine in hand and a big sigh to let the shoulders un-tense.
Appreciate that, friend! Quite exhausted, but glad I was able to publish and my highest priority is transparency and a look at the real me. I think this got there!
HUGS! Girlfriend...you’re rocking it. Right now it's like this...but it won't always be like this. Way to make an article about what you are going through
This was literally my morning!! I realized I’d been waiting for the demand around me to decrease while continuing to absorb it exceptionally well.
So instead of asking how I can carry it better, I’m testing what happens when I stop allocating capacity to some of it. If that isn’t enough, then I have useful information about whether the environment itself needs to change.
Apparently, people who bring order to chaos occasionally have to remember we are also allowed to stop carrying the chaos.
Do as I say, not as I do, right? We are the worst on ourselves. That arbitrary line in the sand that we draw is always interesting, right? I can read five books but six will break me is so real.
Oof, so we all do it, huh?! For many years, I carried a lot of things nobody asked me to carry. I had already decided, on everyone else's behalf, that it would be too much trouble to ask for help and that it had to be me. Why?! It's been a big shift to not do that but it made me a better leader and I think it makes me a better parent and partner too.

Appreciate you!! You’re right I need to work on the you won’t feel this forever. Really helps the anxiety.
