We talk about resentment, overfunctioning, people pleasing, and why all humans are gloriously, beautifully needy. If you’re exhausted, stretched thin, or carrying too much: this one is for you. - The five signs you might have a boundary problem - Why we all need to stop pretending we’re “not needy” - How to stop arguing like a lawyer and start communicating like a kindergartener: “That hurt.
