Gin explores the emotional experience of becoming infrastructure—the stabilizer, protector, helper, and emotional load-bearing wall in relationships, families, friendships, and communities.This isn't a conversation about recognition, praise, or appreciation. It's a conversation about the very human emotions that can arise when your contributions become so reliable that they disappear into the background.Together we'll explore irritation, disappointment, exhaustion, guilt, resentment, emotional complexity, and the hidden ways infrastructure people often invalidate their own experiences. We'll also examine why resentment is often information, why capacity matters, and how being "chopped liver" can sometimes reveal where we've overextended ourselves in the first place.Because bridges are still made of materials.And infrastructure is still made of people.💡 Listen · Reflect · Reset🎙️Produced by Kavi Apoha Studios 🌕A Zero Point Eclectic Production 💬 Hosted by Gin — Soul Doula, Eclectic Alchemist, founder of ZPE & QFFC.🎵Theme Song Lyrics: Rev.
