Kio: "I just want to contribute and be like, what are the last minute things? Are we buttoned up on this?" She says that from a pod squat perspective, everyone is contributing. But then at the end, sisters still stepping in with lists of things they think will make the party better. Kio: "A few of the things that you listed in the list in the email, probably would have been okay if they weren't there"

In this unplanned conversation, Amanda speaks up for everyone who’s been labeled a “Control Freak” – anyone who feels like they have to hold up the entire sky for their families or businesses – when what they really want is to feel supported and safe. Amanda shares vulnerably about: how she became an overfunctioner, the blessings and curses of being one, and the practical strategies she’s using to let go – and what her partner is doing to make her feel like she can finally try to relax.
