Restoring Margin.
I want to say something.
As my mum used to say, "Who's there to help the helper?"
Most of you here are high-capacity helpers.
You think deeply.
You care about doing things well.
You carry a lot — professionally and personally.
And because you’re competent, you rarely get checked on. Properly.
People assume you’re fine.
Sometimes, even YOU assume you’re fine.
But there’s a difference between:
- Coping and thriving
- Delivering and feeling well
- Being capable and being regulated
If your sleep has been irregular…
If your mind feels busy even when the room is quiet…
If your patience feels shorter than it used to…
If you’ve normalised operating slightly tired…
If you're triggered by things that don't usually bother you...
Or vice versa.
In our "Responsibility as identity" workshop last night, I shared the analogy of the backpack.
Sometimes, it's not just how much you're carrying, it's how you're carrying it, if what's in the bag is even yours to carry.
Carrying without structured recovery eventually becomes strain.
This community exists because I don’t believe highly driven, deeply responsible helpers should have to crash to recalibrate.
You don’t need to wait for something dramatic.
You don’t need to be “burnt out enough.”
You don’t need permission to take your wellbeing seriously.
If you’re feeling stretched at the moment, this is your reminder:
You are allowed to strengthen the system beneath your success.
You are allowed to want sustainability.
You are allowed to build a version of ambition that doesn’t cost your nervous system its balance.
And if you’re considering joining ASCEND before it's midnight registration deadline on Friday 27th February, know this —
It’s not about fixing you.
It’s about restoring margin.
Clarity.
Capacity.
Thank you for being part of this community.
For engaging honestly in the comments and DMs.
For being willing to look beneath the surface.
That’s leadership too.
