THINGS THAT MATTER WITH SHARON MANINGER
What happens when we lose ourselves in the chaos of everyday life? How do we find space for ourselves when everyone around us needs something from us? And how do we learn to put ourselves first – without feeling guilty about it?
In this episode, I talk to Sharon about the quiet burnout that creeps in when you're always on for everyone else. It's an honest, warm and sometimes surprisingly funny conversation about life between family, self-employment and the longing for freedom.
Here's what you can expect:
How Sharon manages three kids, a house, a dog and a business – and what it cost her
Why she had to delete her instagram app to actually take a break
What a year of backpacking through Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia taught her about real freedom
The moment she realized her hobby had become her job – and what changed
How becoming a mother made her reflect on her own childhood and break old patterns
Why learning to accept the unfinished is one of the hardest things she's faced
The difference between functioning and actually living
