Playing the victim - Accidentally Adulting

What this episode covers

“Playing the victim” is a phrase that we’ve all heard of, but how many of us are willing to admit that we have totally been there and done that? In today’s episode, Erin and Kath chat about why making yourself the victim in every story is even more damaging to you and the people around you than you might think it is. And hey, we get it – it's human nature to want to have a moan sometimes, but assigning yourself the role of the hard-done-by gets old pretty quick. It’s all about self-awareness, friends!
