Stop the Over-Functioning Cycle

Becoming You Again

Over-functioning, especially among women in the midst of divorce, becomes a relentless cycle of exhaustion and misplaced control. Join me, Karin Nelson, as I share insights, personal stories and heartfelt exploration of how societal pressures and more lead us to take on too much, become burdened by the mental load of it all and feel like we have the world on our shoulders - always at the expense of our own well-being. Learn how recognizing and addressing these patterns can be the first step towards reclaiming your identity and peace of mind.
This episode sheds light on the deeper roots of over-functioning, revealing how it's often intertwined with self-worth and past experiences. It's not just a habit; it's a stress response learned from a young age, stemming from environments where proving oneself was a necessity. By shifting our focus inward and aligning our mind, body, and spirit, we can begin to understand and appreciate our inherent worth, free from external validation.
I'll introduce the concept of weaponized incompetence and discuss the power of setting boundaries and opening up to trusting others. Through grounding techniques, somatic practices and mindset shifts, you will know just how to break free from the cycle of over-functioning.
