Episode notes

"The total dream and what I think John and I are working towards is that I am not alone," she says. "I have the benefit of wisdom and perspective and judgment that is outside of my wisdom and perspective." She adds: "It's like you can sleep because someone else is carrying this guy with you"

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.
