In this episode, we’re diving into something that Abby has struggled with for most of her life: the feeling that she’s never doing enough. Whether it’s parenting, work, or her home, she shares how she can hit one goal and immediately move the bar higher, which makes it hard to actually feel proud of what she’s accomplished or be present in the moment. We talk about where this drive comes from, how it can turn into overfunctioning and burnout, and what it looks like to start letting go of the constant pressure to do more. She's still figuring this out, but Abby's learning that being “enough” isn’t something she can achieve. It’s something she has to decide.

Key Topics Covered:

• The connection between achievement, praise, and belonging
• How comparison can fuel negative self-talk
• Why rest and play can feel uncomfortable for high achievers
• Prompts to help redefine your priorities and recognize when you’re already doing enough
• Letting go of perfection without losing the parts of yourself that make you a high achiever
