Hi friends!

This week on the Joyfully Empowered podcast and blog, I’m sharing a deeply personal and honest look at what overworking actually does to our body, our wellbeing, and our joy — and what you can start doing differently, today.

Overworking is tricky (and easy to do!), especially for most people who are used to being high-functioning and multi-taskers.

Here are 4 signs that overworking is draining you & what to do about it:

😌 Signs that overworking is draining you:

• Chronic fatigue and brain fog: Can’t focus and every day feels tiring, no matter what you’re doing.

• Feeling guilty when you rest: This is a BIG one. If you feel guilty when sitting down, it’s time to rest more and stregthen the muscle of rest.

• Creativity feels distant, joy feels... dulled

Snapping at loved ones because you have nothing left to give

💫 3 Steps to Reclaiming Your Energy:

1. Redefine Productivity
   It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what matters.
   → Ask yourself: “Am I moving the needle… or just staying busy?”

2. Create White Space in Your Calendar
   Schedule in actual space for nothing — no tasks, no calls, just being.
   This is where your best ideas and most aligned decisions come from.

3. Rewire Your Self-Worth
   You are not your output. You are not your inbox.
   Start each day with this mantra: “My worth is inherent, not earned.”

If you’ve been wondering why you feel so disconnected from your own energy & how to reclaim your well-being— this episode is your gentle (but powerful) reset.

You were made to thrive, not survive — and your success will be even sweeter when it comes from alignment, not exhaustion.

Have an incredible week! And remember, follow your joy, always & in all ways!
