397: Are You Addicted to Being Needed?

Have you ever been so busy getting everyone out the door that you show up to your in-laws... in sweatpants and a nice top because you forgot to put on real pants? If so, you might be addicted to being needed—and girl, you're not the only one. This episode is your permission slip to stop being the default fixer, planner, and family lifeguard. You’ll hear what overfunctioning really looks like (even when it feels normal), why the constant “yes” is wearing you down, and how to set boundaries that actually stick—without the guilt. If you're tired of feeling like the only one holding it all together, this one's for you. Listen now—your sanity kind of depends on it. Resources We Shared: Ready to ditch the chaos?
