You know I love you, Thrivesters so I’m coming in hot with a quick holiday truth bomb: there are three innocent little words that can absolutely derail your joy this season. And yes… I’ve used all of them.

Today we’re talking about my own personal struggle with overcommitting, and how the three words — “should,” “sure,” and “sorry” — can suck the energy (and joy) right out of your holiday season.

Today is part pep talk, part self - intervention, and all about reclaiming your peace before you hit burnout.

Here’s what you’ll hear about today:

• How the word “should” quietly fuels guilt, comparison, and resentment
• Why “sorry” chips away at your confidence (and what to say instead)
• Simple boundary scripts that help you protect your energy - minus the guilt

This isn’t about saying no to everything, it’s about saying yes to what really matters. Because you can’t thrive if you’re constantly running on empty.

Now – go out there and thrive like you mean it!
