About this episode
You’re the one people rely on.
You show up. You help. You say yes.
But at what cost?
In this Mojo Monday episode, Carly explores what can happen when being the “helper” starts to take a toll and why always saying yes isn’t as straightforward as it seems.
Because every yes has a cost… even if you can’t see it straight away.
If you’ve ever felt stretched, drained, or quietly overwhelmed while still showing up for everyone else, this one could be for you.
Carly is a counsellor and coach who specialises in building psychological hardiness — the ability to navigate challenge, stay engaged, and take action under pressure. Her work integrates modern psychology with Japanese approaches like Morita Therapy, focusing on helping people live meaningful lives without needing to control their thoughts or emotions.
