Overcommitted or Expanding? How to Actually Tell the Difference

About this episode

Cat Roten discusses the difference between stretching capacity and overcommitting, sharing personal experiences and insights on setting boundaries.

I’m walking you through a season where I have had to ask myself: Am I stretching my capacity… or have I overcommitted? Because there’s a difference. Stretching feels uncomfortable, but aligned.Overcommitting feels heavy and draining. In this conversation, I share: What stretching my capacity looked like in real life The signs I ignored when I crossed into overcommitment The moment I realized my calendar was running me The boundaries I’m putting in place right now If your schedule is full but your energy isn’t… this is for you.
