Episode notes

"I was so enraged and felt so betrayed because I felt like, oh my God, I might be fucking up all of this," she said. "We came to this place of a new understanding where I realized that my over functioning, my strong wilderness, my I know what's right and what's an A plus and we're doing it my way."

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.
