Welcome back to The In-Between podcast! Today I'm sitting down with Sarah Bolor - a licensed clinical social worker, trauma-informed therapist, and founder of Say It Mental Health. Sarah specializes in working with high-achieving women who are stuck in overdrive, struggling with people-pleasing, boundaries, and the constant pressure to do it all. We're getting real about why the culture of "having it all" is exhausting, what's actually costing you when you say yes to everything, and practical strategies to reclaim your peace.
What You'll Hear:
- Why Sarah went from not wanting to be a therapist to finding her ideal client
- The high-achieving woman avatar - what people-pleasing actually looks like
- How our culture taught us to always be available and supportive
- The hidden costs of doing it all - physical and emotional symptoms
- Practical strategies for setting boundaries that actually stick
- How to have the conversation with your partner about mental load
- Talking to kids about emotions and modeling healthy regulation
- Why "balance" is a word Sarah refuses to use
- The toxic relationship with to-do lists and productivity
- Achievement culture and separating your worth from what you do
- Toxic positivity, armchair diagnosis on social media, and AI limitations in therapy
- Real talk about what you can't get from ChatGPT that therapy provides
- Her biggest piece of advice for anyone in transition
Key Takeaway: Invest in yourself - whether that's therapy, your health, or discovering who you are in this current season - so you can live a life with the most joy, fulfillment, and peace.
