S1 E72 - High‑achieving women don’t usually identify as “over‑functioning.”
High‑achieving women don’t usually identify as “over‑functioning.”
We call it being responsible, reliable, the one who “gets it done.”
But here’s the hard truth: when you constantly over‑function, everyone around you quietly under‑functions. You become the default fixer, feel taken for granted, and end up exhausted and resentful.
In this new episode of Leadership Beyond Burnout, I unpack what over‑functioning really looks like at work, at home, and in your relationships — and why it keeps you stuck in the role of “the strong one” with no place to land. You’ll walk away with specific questions and tiny experiments you can try this week to start doing less, letting others do more, and reclaiming your sense of self.
If that hits a nerve, this one’s for you.
