Abby gets this energy that comes into her when she's in a good mood. She would try to trip me while we were dating, and it was something I'd never experienced before.

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.
