The Psych with a Mic Podcast

19. You're Not a 2x4

Ever feel like the world will crumble if you take a day off? You're not a 2x4, and it's time to embrace your dispensability. In this episode, we're flipping the script on dispensability and revealing why it's a powerful tool for self-care and boundary setting.

We'll explore how the Army's lesson in dispensability can translate to your work and personal life. Discover why feeling indispensable can lead to burnout, resentment and a distorted sense of self-worth.

We'll delve into the underlying reasons why you might struggle with dispensability and discuss how to break free from these patterns and cultivate a healthier relationship with your work and yourself.

If you struggle with setting boundaries, we'll also point you towards valuable resources to help you establish healthier limits in your life. It's time to reclaim your time and energy because you are worth more than your productivity.
