The Dark Side of Hyper-Independence & Is Self-Care Just Marketing?
from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams
In the first part of today's show, we looked at “You think: Do I really need anyone?” – the hidden burden of being a hyper-independent person, and unpacked what hyper-independence really means, where it comes from, and why extreme self-reliance can sometimes mask deeper emotional struggles. Today's unpopular opinion was: “Self-care” is just consumerism in disguise. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name an example of self-care.
