## Resource

In this episode of Joy with Kendall, I'm unpacking the burnout that comes from trying to be everything for everyone... and the uncomfortable truth I had to face: it wasn't what I was doing that drained me… it was how I was showing up. I talk about the savior complex, the pressure to fix and over-function, and the belief that love has to be earned through constant tending, giving, and guilt. Spoiler: it doesn't. I explore how I've linked being "needed" with being "worthy," and how that led to energetic imbalance, resentment, and emotional exhaustion. This episode is a call to reclaim your energy, recognize your limits, and remember that care doesn't have to cost your well-being. You're allowed to stop performing your worth. You're allowed to rest.
