Summary
So many of us feel full. Calendars full. Inboxes full. Minds full. And yet we keep committing. To the invite, the project, the opportunity, the thing that looks good on paper but feels heavy in your body.
In this episode, I share the simple 60-second filter I run before I add anything new. Four questions that cut through overwhelm, prevent resentment, and keep your business and life aligned with your actual capacity. If you have ever said yes and instantly regretted it, or wondered why your life feels so full but not deeply fulfilling, this one is for you.

| 0:55.4 | Hello. of yourself possible. Are you ready, beautiful? Hello and welcome back to the Melissa Ambrisini show. Now today I want to give you something really practical. I gave this to one of my private clients this week and I thought I had to share it with you. This is so practical, like use it today practical, because if you were anything like the women that I work |
| 1:00.4 | with, you are not short of ideas. You're not short on capability. You can make almost anything |
| 1:08.3 | work. And that is kind of the issue because when you are that woman, |
| 1:14.0 | you don't get stopped by, can I do this? You get stopped by should I do this? This is literally |
| 1:20.1 | my every day. I go for a walk. I come back with a million ideas and I'm like, should I do this? |
| 1:25.6 | Should I do this idea? It's not can I do this, |
| 1:27.9 | it's should I do this? And then you end up in that place where you are circling decisions, |
| 1:33.5 | overthinking, second guessing, while your life is all ready full. So this episode is called, |
| 1:40.3 | before you add one more thing, run it through this filter. And like I said, this is something that I shared |
| 1:47.4 | with one of my private clients. She found it immensely useful, so much so that I had to share it with you. |
