In this episode of the Wise Effort Show, Dr. Diana Hill explores the paradox of feeling overcommitted yet under involved. She talks about the psychological and contextual reasons behind the paradox, including the myths of normalcy, the craving for more, the impact of our limiting stories, the avoidance of discomfort, and the misalignment with our values. Finally, she encourages listeners to destroy the concept of 'normal' and embrace their unique paths.

• Reason 1: The Myth of Normalcy
• Reason 2: Holding On Too Tight
• Reason 3: Stuck in a Story
