    5-MINUTE FRIDAY: Stop Overcommitting Your Energy

    5-MINUTE FRIDAY: Stop Overcommitting Your Energy

    May 8, 2026
    7m

    It's absolutely beautiful in Brooklyn right now. After a whirlwind of travel to Boston, London, and Portland, being back home feels like a massive exhale. But as the weather warms up, social calendars tend to fill up fast.

    Today, Emily's evaluating how she navigates this busy season without overcommitting. She's sharing a couple essential gut-checks: asking yourself if an event provides energy or requires an unaffordable "withdrawal," and the importance of the "White Space Rule" to allow for spontaneity and mental resets. Plus, she answers a listener question about how to prioritize both time for self and socializing.
