À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Right now, everyone wants a piece of you. Work wants you at the meeting, the rehearsal, the working bee. And your actual life wants you too — the drinks, the catch-ups, the "we haven't seen you in ages" invites that seem to triple in November and December. Both are pulling at you the exact moment you have the least capacity to give.
In this episode: why you are not rewarded for the badge of exhaustion, why you don't need to attend every single event — work or personal — and why protecting a genuinely empty weekend, or even just a few unclaimed hours, isn't indulgent, it's maintenance.
Because if you run yourself into the ground for the next few weeks, the break doesn't start with rest. It starts with your body finally collapsing — and nobody wants to spend the whole school holiday sick.
Plus, a few real ways to actually say no, without the guilt trip or the three-paragraph justification.
You're allowed to protect your time. Saying no to some things this term might be exactly what lets you say a genuine, present yes to what matters most. 🤍
