How do we stop guilt from getting in the way of having FUN?“I’m not sure I deserve this.”“I feel selfish.”“I should be doing something more productive.”“I have too much to do. I don’t have time for fun.”Does that voice sound familiar?Maybe it’s yours.Maybe it’s your friends’.Have we normalized guilt?96% of women report feeling guilty at least once a day — about:ParentingWorkTaking personal timeNot “doing enough” for othersHas guilt become so common that we mistake it for:ResponsibilityMaturityBeing a “good person”And here’s the real question…Have we developed a guilt habit that has replaced our fun habit?In this episode, Treena sits down with Dr. Jody Carrington to unpack why joy can feel vulnerable, why burnout is often a lack of refueling (not a lack of productivity), and how guilt quietly steals our energy, creativity, and connection.If you are done with guilt bossing you around, this conversation will help you:Understand where guilt actually comes fromRecognize the cost of living in it dailyReclaim stillness, movement, and connectionPut a big red STOP sign in front of guilt“Burnout isn’t a function of the work you do.
