Hey friends—this one’s for my fellow overachievers, the ones who wear “productive” like a badge of honor…even when you’re running on fumes.

In this episode of Operation Be, I’m getting real about what happens when hyper-productivity becomes your coping mechanism. I’m sharing pieces of my own journey—how I went from constantly pushing to learning how to listen when my body says “enough.”

We’ll talk about how to recognize the signals your mind and body are sending, why slowing down isn’t failure, and what it actually looks like to build a sustainable pace. I’ll also give you some real, practical tips for managing your to-do list without bulldozing your well-being in the process.

This episode is about reclaiming your energy, your presence, and your peace—because burnout isn’t the vibe, and rest is not a reward. Let’s shift the way we show up for ourselves, one honest conversation at a time.

🎧 Tune in now. This one is a game changer.
