Sometimes I'm a Boss, Sometimes I need a Nap

from Shrinks on the Brink · host Austin and Kellie

Some days you want to take up space. Some days you want to disappear into someone else's care.In this episode, we talk about the very real (and very human) pull between wanting to feel small - held, protected, and not responsible for everything. We explore how this shows up in ambition, relationships, self-worth, and the quiet ways we try to prove ourselves... even when we're not sure we want the thing we're chasing. There's no pathology here. No "inner child work" checklist. Just an honest conversation about oscillating between strength and softness - and why both can coexist without meaning anything is wrong with you.If you've ever felt torn between pushing forward and wanting to be taken care of, this one's for you.
