In a fast paced world that's so 'go go go' all the time, it's easy to start feeling buried under a mountain of obligations and responsibilities. Before you know it, you start feeling resentful towards your boss for 'making' you work late or that you 'have' to go to your husband's friends birthday dinner - which makes you feel even more frustrated and overwhelmed by it all.
So in this episode I dive deep into how to shift from feeling at the mercy of your schedule to back in control of it. It's a simple mindset shift that really changes how you feel towards your commitments so you can tackle your schedule with renewed energy and sense of empowerment.
