Session 4

What is it costing you to always be the one who has it all together?

There’s a cost to being the strongest person in every room, to always appearing composed and holding everything together when the world around you isn’t.

Nobody told you that cost has a name or that it can compound quietly until it becomes impossible to ignore.

Sometimes the work itself isn’t what exhausts us. The real drain is the constant effort required to maintain an identity:

“I’m the one everyone comes to.”

“I can’t let people down.”

“I should be able to handle this.”

“I don’t need help.”

In this session, Amanda DaCosta will help you recognize the hidden performance tax beneath these patterns. You’ll explore what may be draining your energy, what your current way of operating is costing you, and how to begin changing it.

You’ll leave with one concrete practice you can use to start recovering that energy immediately.
