What happens when life doesn't give you the option to say no? In the final episode of the three-part capacity series, Cara gets personal — sharing the season of change, grief, and relentless busyness that led to a complete physical shutdown in January 2021, and what it taught her about what it actually costs to keep overriding your body's signals. She talks about the non-negotiable yeses — caregiving, illness, teenagers who need a taxi — and what it looks like to build enough capacity that the hard seasons don't hollow you out completely. Plus: a four-question audit to assess what your life is actually doing to your capacity, and the practical tools that make the difference between surviving a hard season and being resourced enough to meet it.
