In this episode, I discuss the dynamic of over-functioning and learned helplessness that often occurs in relationships. I explained how this pattern can lead to feelings of resentment, stress, overwhelm, and powerlessness. I will share my own personal experience with over-functioning and how it was influenced by my upbringing. You can hear me emphasize the importance of recognizing these patterns and breaking the cycle to create healthier, more balanced relationships. Take a listen because I will also offer reflection exercises for you Warriors to explore their own experiences and roles in these dynamics.

Today, we’re tackling a topic that we’ve all encountered at some point – difficult people.
Distinguishing between difficult and dangerous people isn’t always as clear-cut. While narcissists who blatantly cross our boundaries are relatively easy to identify, what about those individuals who fall into the category of “difficult people”? Stay tuned because in this episode, I’ll explore the complexities of dealing with difficult individuals. I believe that everyone deserves to be in healthy and thriving adult relationships. And I’ll be sharing some valuable tools to help you navigate these challenging dynamics.
