Скачать или смотреть How can I recognize when I'm over committing?

Why does present-you keep saying yes to things that future-you is already dreading? Why do you keep overcommitting even when you know you don’t have the time or energy?

In this episode of It’s Not Just You, we’re breaking it all down:
✅ The science behind overcommitment—how your nervous system, dopamine, and socialization are setting you up to say yes when you should say no.
✅ Why women, in particular, struggle with this—hello, people-pleasing and validation cookies.
✅ How to recognize when you're overcommitting and interrupt the cycle before burnout hits.
✅ The simple mindset shift that makes saying “no” so much easier (Hint: Every no you say is a yes to yourself).

If you’re constantly overbooked, overwhelmed, and regretting commitments, this episode is for you.

🔥 Let’s talk! Drop a comment—what’s the last thing you regretted saying yes to? And how do you plan to handle it differently next time?
