​What if the very strengths that make you effective are also the ones quietly wearing you out?

This episode explores how good gifts can become heavy when responsibility turns into over-functioning, discernment into overthinking, and compassion into carrying what was never yours to hold. Even good things can become too much when they grow beyond what your life can sustainably carry.

In this episode:

• Why your strengths can become your strain
• How to notice what no longer fits
• Three guardrails for a more sustainable life
• A gentler way to carry what’s yours
