Summary
Are you unknowingly sabotaging your time management? As women, we’re trained to take on responsibility for everything—other people’s feelings, outcomes we can’t control, and tasks that were never ours to begin with. The result? Exhaustion, overwhelm, and decisions that don’t serve us.
In this episode, I’m sharing how over-responsibility snuck into my own plans for 2025 and what I did to get back on track. I’ll walk you through the self-coaching process I used to uncover and shift the sneaky thought patterns holding me back—like feeling responsible for other people’s feelings or thinking I don’t deserve to fully use my privileges. If you’re ready to ditch the overwork cycle and start reclaiming your time, this episode is for you!

| 0:00.0 | Like many of you, I spent some time in late December and early January planning my 2025. |
| 0:07.0 | Y'all know that I live and die by my calendar and by the time management system I teach |
| 0:12.6 | inside the feminist self-help society. But this year, as I was planning my work schedule for |
| 0:16.9 | 2025, I realized that I had not dealt with all of the over-responsibility in my brain, |
| 0:23.6 | because I realized that I was making decisions that were worse for me and worse for my business |
| 0:27.8 | because of my attempt to control what other people thought about me. |
| 0:31.6 | So in this episode, I'm going to share with you what changes I'm making to my work in 2025 |
| 0:35.9 | and what self-coaching I had to do to resolve |
| 0:38.8 | the over-responsibility that was sneakily sabotaging me. Because I guarantee it is |
| 0:44.6 | sabotaging you too sneakily or very obviously. So let's get into it. Welcome to unfuck your |
| 0:51.6 | brain. I'm your host Kara Lowentile, master certified, and founder of the School of New Feminist Thub. |
| 0:58.6 | I'm here to help you turn down your anxiety, turn up your confidence, and create a life on your own terms, one that you're truly excited to live. Let's go. |
| 1:15.8 | Hello, my friends, and welcome to 2025. All right, when you're hearing this, it's been 2025 for a minute, but this is the first podcast I'm recording in the new |
| 1:20.8 | year. And I'm excited to start it off by sharing some of my own self-coaching. The great thing about |
| 1:26.9 | this job is that anytime I figure out something about myself, |
| 1:30.3 | I know it's going to be so useful for all of you, |
| 1:33.1 | because every brain is a special snowflake in its own way, |
| 1:36.9 | but every brain is very similar in many ways, |
| 1:39.6 | especially if that brain has been socialized as a woman in Western society. |
| 1:43.8 | So one of the thought patterns you've heard me talk about a lot in the last six months |
| 1:47.4 | is over responsibility. |
