What if your exhaustion isn't due to laziness or a lack of motivation but because you've unknowingly become the overworked, unpaid CEO of everyone's life?

You're not alone in feeling this way. You're not tired because you're weak. You're exhausted because you're carrying the weight of multiple lives, including a golden retriever, and the emotional burden of your group chat, while rage-washing dishes, whispering, "It's fine" through clenched teeth.

Let's be real. Overfunctioning isn't sustainable. Emotional CrossFit is not a life plan. Doing everything isn't noble—it's exhausting.

I've lived this, and I'm sharing the mindset shifts and practical steps that helped me break free from overfunctioning and finally breathe again. Let's do less, live better, and take back our peace.

We live in a world where connection is everywhere—our notifications buzz with likes, comments, and DMs. And yet, why does it still feel like something’s missing? Why do we scroll through highlight reels, surrounded by digital admiration, yet still feel unseen at the end of the day?

Here’s what we rarely admit: we don’t need more people in our lives; we need deeper connections. The type of connections where you can be yourself—messy bun, tired eyes, no filters—and feel confident in being loved. The kind where you’re not performing or proving, just existing—and that’s enough.

Today, let’s drop the pressure and talk about genuine relationships. The kind that refreshes your soul instead of draining it. Because you don’t just deserve friendships—you were made for them. So, let’s dig in and find the ones that remind you that you belong.
