Summary
As you heard last week, women are constantly taking over-responsibility for everything and everyone in their lives- and it's exhausting. What if I told you there’s an antidote that doesn’t require isolating yourself in the woods or becoming a self-centered jerk? Well, you're in luck because in this episode, I explore the solution to over-responsibility: self-responsibility. You’ll learn why self-responsibility is the key to showing up in a way that’s supportive and aligned with your values, and how to begin letting go of the exhausting burden of over-responsibility.

| 0:00.0 | In last week's episode I taught you about over responsibility and how women are |
| 0:04.3 | socialized to hold themselves responsible for everyone and everything around them. |
| 0:08.6 | Today we're going to talk about the antidote to over responsibility. |
| 0:12.1 | It's not moving to a hut in the woods, |
| 0:14.1 | although I personally would love to spend more time in a cabin. |
| 0:16.9 | And it doesn't require you to be an asshole who only cares about yourself either. |
| 0:20.8 | In this episode, I'm going to explain why self-responsibility is the answer. |

| 0:49.1 | excited to live. Let's go. You know that feeling where your brain starts to worry about one thing going wrong, and then |

| 1:14.0 | Or you're trying to decide where to send your kid to school and you imagine that if you make the wrong decision |
| 1:19.0 | she'll end up feeling rejected or get bullied and she'll descend into a life of drugs and dropping out of high school and never achieve her potential and it will be all your fault. |
| 1:27.0 | This can feel like it's just something your brain does, like you were just born with an anxious brain. You likely know on some level |
