My old colleague @aweigel4 said to me “you can’t pour from an empty cup and you shouldn’t pour from a full one either, everyone can get your overflow” basically KEEP YOUR CUP FULL. There’s absolutely nothing cute about burn out and there’s no award or honor for the woman who does everything and puts everyone before herself. You can still be a support and honor seasons of being unavailable to the hustle. The older I get, the more I want ease over everything. Rest and joy are an act of resistance and the real goal is a calm nervous system! Right now I’m in an extremely busy and overwhelming season and I want to focus on doubling down on the things that bring me joy like working out and spending time with loved ones. My focus right now is showing up and doing just enough so I can stay sane - I can’t give my business, job or family more than I give myself right now . There is no true balance but focusing on the right things helps me stay in the game . For more, subscribe to my free newsletter on www.ohheyykay.com
