In this milestone 95th episode of the Soul-u-tions Podcast, we are dropping in completely unfiltered—straight from morning puppy duty with the newest addition to the family, Talula Rose!—to tackle a hidden epidemic that is draining our life force: emotional exhaustion.

Drawing inspiration from an Anne Morrow Lindbergh quote, we unpack why constantly anticipating and managing everyone else’s needs is actually an exhausting form of "insincerity." In a world where modern expectations and technology have given everyone unlimited, 24/7 access to our time, it is easier than ever to override our own inner voice just to keep the peace. If you find yourself automatically saying "yes" to requests before you've even checked your own energy levels, this episode is your permission slip to finally hit pause.
