When being taken care of makes you uncomfortable 🫠

Are you really good at taking care of everyone else... but wildly uncomfortable when someone tries to take care of you?

In this episode, I'm sharing what happened when Justin told me, “I'm going to take care of you,” and instead of simply feeling loved, it brought up fears around dependence, losing my freedom, being a burden, and eventually being resented.

We talk about hyper-independence, overfunctioning, the need to be needed, and what it can look like to stop carrying everything yourself and let the people who love you actually support you.

This episode is for you if…

* You’re the person everyone describes as strong.

* You rarely ask for help because you can probably just do it yourself.

* You deeply want to feel supported in your relationships but notice yourself becoming uncomfortable when someone actually steps in.

* You worry about being needy, dependent, or a burden.

Or you’ve ever thought: If I need too much from someone, eventually they might resent me for it.

Your invitation…
