Unlock the secret to summer freedom: Say no without guilt and embrace just the “fuck yes” moments that truly matter. In this candid chat, the three hosts of The After Call explore the dangerous trap…
And the question is, and a question everyone should be thinking about, are we over committing too much? Are we just over committing to the wrong things? And that is the episode for today.

Summer, we know it's fun, right? You want to be out there.
Weather's nice.
You feel this pressure to get out there.
But why do we actually feel like the need to overcommit so much? What is the switch that just makes it happen where it becomes unbearable?
Yeah, because I feel like it's summer.
It's a question.
It's sun.
I feel like we're finally like we've broken out of the winter doldrums and we're like, we got to get every ounce out of it.
That's what I feel like.
I feel like I need to do everything and all of the things.
And the overcommitment is true, but I'm kind of like, I want to live my summer like that.
I want to see my friends.
I want to hang out with my kids.
I want to go camping.
I want to do cottages.
I want to sit on patios.
I want to do all of the things in the nice weather and I will hibernate in the winter.
