Are you a high performer who constantly says "yes" to new projects? You’re not alone—you’re likely paying the "competency tax." In this episode of Hannah Hotline, we break down why being the "reliable one" at work is actively damaging your health and career trajectory. If you’re burnt out, stressed, and feeling punished for your own competence, this episode is your wake-up call. We cover: Why high achievers tie their self-worth to performance (and how to stop). The difference between being "reliable" and being "promotable." Actionable steps to set boundaries when you're overwhelmed.

"Stop protecting the people who treat you poorly." Are you the person who jokes about being a "people pleaser" but goes home feeling drained, anxious, and deeply resentful? You might not just be "nice"—you might be experiencing the "fawn" trauma response. Most of us know fight, flight, or freeze, but fawning is the lesser-known, often more dangerous response where you literally prop up people who don't deserve it just to survive the interaction. In this episode, we're doing the "shitty work" of peeling back those layers to understand why you learned to sacrifice your own needs just to avoid conflict. If you're tired of self-gaslighting and are ready to stop setting yourself on fire to keep others warm, this is your wake-up call.
