People often tell me I do “too much”.
Sometimes it’s framed as admiration.
Most of the time, it’s framed as concern - that I’m going to burn out, that I need to slow down, that I’m taking too much on.
In this personal interlude, I reflect on why being multi-passionate and multi-hyphenate has so often been treated as a flaw rather than a strength. I unpack where the “you do too much” narrative really comes from, why burnout is so often misunderstood, and how labels like ADHD are sometimes used to explain people away instead of accepting difference.
This episode is about rejecting other people’s limits, reclaiming what works for you, and realising that “too much” is often just shorthand for “not familiar”.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to shrink, simplify, or pick one lane to make others more comfortable - this one’s for you.
