Ep 11 | Over-Functioning Isn’t Sustainable — or Noble

Being the one who “always steps up” may look like leadership on the surface - but when it’s rooted in fear, urgency, or over-responsibility, it comes with a cost. In this episode, Cara gently unpacks the hidden pattern of over-functioning and offers a grounded path back to clarity, shared ownership, and sustainable leadership. If you’ve been carrying more than your share - quietly, automatically, and often without acknowledgment - this conversation is for you. In this episode, we explore: • What over-functioning actually is - and why high-capacity leaders fall into it • The hidden emotional and systemic roots of over-responsibility • How over-functioning affects team trust, growth, and collaboration • The personal cost: burnout, resentment, loss of clarity, and constant urgency • Small, sustainable ways to step back without stepping away • How shared leadership creates stronger teams - and healthier leaders This episode is especially for leaders who: • Are tired from being “the reliable one” • Struggle to delegate without guilt • Carry more than their share at work or at home • Worry that everything depends on them • Feel guilty even thinking about letting go • Know something has to change, but don’t know how to begin Key takeaways: • Over-functioning may feel noble, but it’s not sustainable • Being needed is not the same as being valued • Leadership rooted in fear or urgency isn’t leadership - it’s survival • Shared clarity and shared ownership are essential for team growth • You deserve a leadership experience that doesn’t drain you If this episode felt familiar or touched something tender, you’re not alone.
