O TYM ODCINKU
You’re still getting things done. You’re still the person everyone counts on. But what is it costing you?
Author, speaker, and Delay the Binge™ Podcast host Pam Dwyer joins Mairin Moore Cane on the Root, Realign, Rise™ Podcast to explore what Pam calls “quiet depletion”- the hidden exhaustion that can exist beneath competence, productivity, and responsibility.
Drawing on her experiences growing up with adversity, Pam examines how patterns that once helped us cope can continue shaping our work, relationships, and sense of worth.
Together, Mairin and Pam explore recognizing those patterns, creating a pause before an automatic response, and making intentional choices that support a more sustainable way of living and leading.
CONVERSATION THEMES • Recognizing exhaustion beneath outward success • The connection between resilience, identity, and over-responsibility • Noticing patterns of overworking and people-pleasing • Creating space between a trigger and a familiar reaction • Understanding what needs attention before trying to change a behavior • Building change through small, intentional choices
A question to carry into your week: What are you continuing to carry simply because you’ve always carried it?
CONTENT NOTE This conversation includes discussion of childhood adversity, including abuse and neglect, and emotional exhaustion.
