Episode notes

Q&A Session: Acts of Service vs Micromanaging is part of a series where we discuss topics and/or questions submitted by our listeners. In today’s episode we’re answering a question regarding how to manage over-functioning when your love language is acts of service. What do you do when you want to make your partner’s life easier, but end up micromanaging?

We’re discussing:

Getting honest with your motivation to determine if you’re operating from a true desire to show them they’re loved, or if you’re creating environments in an attempt to make your own life easier and/or soothe your anxieties.

Finding the balance of showing up authentically in your relationship and not being resentful when those acts of service aren’t always returned. Are you operating from a place of love rather than a place of transaction or condition?

Establishing boundaries in your relationship that allow each of you to show up in a way that feels good for you both.
