167. Journal with Me: 5 Min Prompts for When You're Carrying TOO Much

Save this episode for when you have 5-mins to strategically break free from holding it all together! (Prompts below)

I made this episode for the woman who feels like you're the only one who sees how much you're actually handling. Like everyone around you just assumes you've got it all under control, while you're secretly drowning in the weight of keeping everyone else's world spinning.

If you're nodding along thinking "finally, someone gets it," grab your journal & pen or open Google Docs!

In today's 5-minute journaling session, we're diving into why you might be addicted to being indispensable - and how that pattern is actually keeping you trapped in cycles that drain you instead of fulfill you.

What you'll discover:

  • The real reason you can't stop "carrying it all" (spoiler: it's NOT about being helpful)
  • Why asking for help feels so terrifying (and what you're really afraid of)
  • How proving your worth through productivity shows up across ALL areas of your life
  • The breakthrough question that will shift you from surviving to thriving

4 Journal Prompts Covered:

  1. Write about a time when you felt completely unseen for everything you were handling
  2. What are you afraid would happen if you stopped being the person who handles everything?
  3. Where else do you prove your worth through how much you can carry?
  4. What would change if you believed you were worthy of support and recognition just as you are?

Perfect for the ambitious woman who's tired of being everyone's go-to person but doesn't know how to step back without feeling guilty or incompetent.
