We live in a world that never turns off and our brains are paying the price.

In today’s Psychology Today article, I break down how boundary-setting isn’t just good practice, it’s essential for mental clarity and well-being.

When someone we care about is struggling, our instincts often push us to intervene, advise, or fix.

While it might be well-intentioned, this impulse can cross into overstepping, especially when it’s driven by our own discomfort rather than their needs.

True support creates space, respects autonomy, and allows concern to exist without control.

Are you allowing yourself space to recover?

One of my goals this year is to spend more downtime resetting and recharging for what comes next.

“I just want to make it easier.”

Fixer File #5 explores Elaine, the family caretaker—the one everyone turns to, the one who anticipates, organizes, and carries the emotional load for those she loves.

This post looks at how fixing can slowly become an identity, why it feels safer than sitting with uncertainty, and the quiet cost of solving too soon.

If you’re the person who always steps in, holds it together, and puts your own needs last, this one may feel very familiar. 💛

True connection isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, doing the work, and allowing space for growth. 🙌

Be mindful of the expectations you place on others, and extend the same grace you give yourself.

Book reviews matter more than it may seem!

They help bookstores, libraries, and algorithms decide who gets to see a book.

If you’ve read Serial Fixer (which has now been out for 2 months! 🎉) please consider taking a moment to leave a review.

I’ve been overflowing with gratitude for the love Serial Fixer has received so far!

Avoiding false ownership and the habit of taking on others’ emotions or responsibilities is crucial.

While it might seem helpful, it often leads to burnout or compassion fatigue and deprives others of the chance to develop their own skills.

“I can explain…”

If that phrase lives on repeat in your conversations, this week’s Substack may feel familiar.

Anthony’s story explores how Serial Fixers overexplain, overprepare, and overcare in an effort to feel accepted and avoid misinterpretation….and the quiet cost that comes with it!

I look at the link between overexplaining, external validation, and self-trust, and what can shift when you stop performing for approval and start letting conversations unfold.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by your own effort to keep everyone comfortable, this one’s for you. 💛
