GOAH 225: Over It: When Enough is Enough: Overspending

We’ve all done it - spent money we didn’t plan to spend on something we didn’t really need. As we continue our Over It: When Enough is Enough series, we get real about overspending. It’s easy to blame overspending on not having enough money - but it’s not. We spend for all sorts of reasons we don’t usually admit. Comfort. Control. Validation. And while some purchases bring real joy, most are nothing more than temporary hits of dopamine, pulling focus from our goals, draining our bank account, and stealing our peace of mind.  Every swipe, every click, every impulse purchase isn’t just spending money — it’s a choice about where our attention, energy, and resources go. It’s time to be honest about how we’re spending and why we’ve stopped hesitating before handing over that card. This isn’t about needing more money - it’s about paying attention to what we’re really chasing when we spend it

GOAH 224: Over It: When Enough is Enough: Overcommitting

Let’s be real. Most of us struggle with boundaries, don’t know how to say no, and feel like the word “busy” doesn’t even begin to describe our schedule. Our planner is always full - and yet, most of us feel like there’s never enough time for the things we actually want to do. We’re tackling this very real problem as we continue our Over It: Enough is Enough series by getting honest about why we’re overcommitting. It’s time to choose our commitments with intention - because when we stop saying yes to everything, we finally have the space to say yes to what truly matters. Let’s ditch the people-pleasing, stop the time-wasters, and make room for the life we actually want to live.

GOAH 223: Over It: When Enough is Enough - Overdoing It

We continue our Over It: When Enough is Actually Enough Series today by getting real about overdoing it - something most of us do on a regular basis. But why? Why are we constantly pushing ourselves to DO? To produce? To work? And why does the finish line keep moving? Let’s talk about control, perfectionism, and the way we’ve normalized burnout. There’s a better way. Doing less allows us to actually do what we love - what we were called to do - and to do it better! So instead of this never-ending push to do more, let’s step back, honor our limits, and do just a bit less so that our energy can be poured into what sustains us, instead of what drains us.

GOAH 222 - Over It: When Enough Is Actually Enough: Overcomplicating

Let’s get real. Life can be hard. So why in the midst of everyday stress and difficult circumstances are we making our lives harder than they have to be? Today we kick off our Over It: When Enough is Actually Enough Series by talking about why we overcomplicate things. Adding layers and extra steps may feel safer - but what if it’s just our need to people-please or mask our insecurities? The truth? All those extra steps, plans, choices, and overall “extra” we’re putting into everything is weighing us down. We’re not proving our worth - we’re living under a self-imposed burden. It’s time to break free and embrace the joy and peace of simplicity.

GOAH 221: Know Yourself: Self-Compassion: The Way Back To You

We’re wrapping up the Know Yourself series with one of the most transformative (and most resisted) pieces: self-compassion. Not self-care. Not self-esteem. Self-compassion. The kind of kindness that steps into your pain with honesty and gentleness, and refuses to make it worse. In today’s episode, we’re getting real about some of the reasons we’ve struggled with self-compassion. Not only do we not know how, it may feel cheesy or inauthentic. Some of us may fear becoming lazy or less. And some of us believe self-compassion has to be earned. We’ve bought into the lie that being hard on ourselves makes us stronger. But the truth is, it’s only making us smaller. Self-compassion isn’t a cop-out, a luxury, or something we get after we’ve done “enough.” It’s a lifeline - a daily choice to treat ourselves like someone worth saving—not after we’ve pulled it together, but especially when we haven’t. We’re unlearning the lie that kindness is just something for everyone else and working to make room for a gentler way to grow.
