You show up for everyone else—but are you always at the bottom of your own list?

In this episode of Aren’t Ya Tired Of…?, Patti and Mark explore the habits and patterns of always putting yourself last—and the toll it takes on you. What looks like helpfulness or dependability can actually be driven by extreme responsibility, guilt, approval-seeking, and the pressure to make everything perfect - often at your own expense.

They break down how to recognize it, why it matters, and what to do about it—so you can stop running on empty and start showing up differently.

Because if nothing changes, you pay the price.

They share practical strategies and ideas to help you navigate a bad manager, keep your confidence, and stay in control of your career.
