"Fix-It Mode" & The Harvest Moon: This One's for the Independent Women | Ep. 154

What happens when you come off a vacation high straight into reality—complete with a broken hot water tank, foundation cracks in the garage, and an argument over Ziploc bag organizers?

In this episode, Michelle delivers an incredibly raw, post-vacation "dear diary" check-in. From waking up at 5:27 AM in a funk to navigating therapy homework on a walk around South Brook Trail, Michelle gets brutally honest about what happens when high-achieving, independent women feel overwhelmed—and why a partner jumping into "fix-it mode" can sometimes trigger resentment instead of relief.
