Episode notes

Sissy Spacek: I think this idea of over functioning and especially with women because you know men are never called control free. And the person has to say accountability is going to look different. Your idea of accountability is not necessarily our idea of accountability. Sissy, your sister and I love you and we think that you might need to hear from us that we are a part of this and we've got this together. It's a big beautiful deal.

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.
