Ep. #164 | Respecting our individual capacity
Listen on Apple Podcasts
Welcome back for another bite of Simplicity. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project and the creator of the women’s revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.
In this simplicity bite, we will be opening up about our individual capacity and how to recognise when we are beyond capacity. And in order to feel resilient or to have true resiliency, you have to first understand what your individual capacity is.
I believe it is important for each of us to reiterate to ourselves and the women in our lives that it is ok to say no, to give yourself that permission and treat yourself with more love and self-compassion.
Here are the main topics of this simplicity bite:
- Beyond capacity
- Capacity is learned
- How our cycle can affect our capacity
- Gut instinct
- Giving yourself permission to say no

Quotes:
- “I wasn’t at my capacity, I was beyond my capacity.”
- “Capacity is learned”
- “In order to feel resilient or to have true resiliency, you have to first understand what your individual capacity is.”
- “When I’m in the first half of my cycle, my energy is higher for me, I’m more primed and I get excited about all of the ideas and everything that comes my way… Then I pay for that when it’s in the second half of my cycle, or when I’m feeling heavy”
- “Where do you hear your own voice? Where do you have the time to grow your own self-awareness and to form and choose your own opinions, your own core values? In any capacity in life.”
- “It’s okay to be honest and say, when someone asks, Hey, could you help me with this? I’m sorry, but I’m at capacity. Hey, could you go get this for me? I’m sorry, but I’m at capacity. Whatever the thing is, it’s actually okay. If your gut instinct is like, I literally don’t have room for that.”
- “I am only one, but I am one. Though I can’t do everything, I can do something. And so I will not let the things that I can’t do, that I choose not to do, interfere with what I can do. And I know that to be true for myself and for others around me.”
