102 - When Carrying Everyone Gets Too Heavy

Welcome to Back and Forth!

In this episode of Back and Forth, the guys talk about what happens when you spend too long trying to carry everything for everyone else.

The conversation covers burnout, stress, asking for help and why sometimes calling it delegation makes it a little easier to admit you can’t do everything yourself. Vish opens up about a period where putting everyone else first started affecting his sleep, stress levels and how he was coping, and why learning to step back has become so important.

They also get into boundaries, family, supporting people without doing everything for them, and the importance of giving yourself some time to switch off. Whether it’s walking the dog, driving alone, playing Xbox, building Lego or sitting in the garage doing absolutely nothing, sometimes five minutes away from everything can make a bigger difference than you think.

There’s also some honest chat about family, gratitude, self respect and learning that you don’t always have to be the person holding everything together.

A very real conversation about knowing when you’ve taken on too much, letting people help, and giving yourself permission to step back.
