Send us Fan Mail

Do you ever feel like you're constantly saying 'yes' to things, like you're always on the go, never able to catch a breath? You're not alone! Join us, Ellen and Tish, as we unpack the pervasive issue of over-commitment at midlife. We share our personal experiences and insights into why it's so common for women in this stage of life to feel stretched thin.

We tackle the 'Superwoman Syndrome', dissecting the unrealistic expectations we often place on ourselves. We also discuss the elusive balance between doing enough and not overdoing, the fear of missing out (FOMO) and perfectionism. Most importantly, we share practical strategies to help you regain control, such as self-compassion, asking for help, effective time management, and stepping away from the need to be 'superwoman'. 

As we wrap up this conversation, we emphasize the importance of prioritizing self-care and setting realistic boundaries. We delve into the concept of being an extroverted introvert and discuss the importance of self-kindness. You're not in this alone; we highlight the value of having trusted friends to support your decisions and help you maintain a healthier balance. So buckle up and join us on this insightful journey to better manage commitments and achieve a healthier balance in life.
