Listen "Clearing Your Plate: Taking Stock of Commitments Before Overwhelm Hits"
Episode Synopsis
Ep. 138 If your plate feels more like a buffet of burnout than a balanced meal, it’s time to clear it. In this empowering episode of the Healthy Illness Podcast, host Kelly Marie walks you through how to take honest inventory of your life—what’s feeding your purpose and what’s draining your peace.
From her leadership training in the Health Leader Fellowship Program to her mindfulness studies at Brown University, Kelly shares real strategies for knowing when you’ve got too much on your plate, how to categorize what stays, what goes, and how to confidently say no without guilt.
