Summary

Anne-Laure explores why we tend to overcommit by automatically saying yes, despite the toll it takes on our mental energy. She identifies common culprits like social conditioning, perfectionism, lack of focus, and FOMO.

Thoughtful boundaries allow us to show up fully for what truly matters instead of spreading ourselves too thin.
