Episode 2: Capable Isn't the Same as Okay
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We often pride ourselves on being the person who "has it all handled," but there is a quiet exhaustion that comes with being too capable. In this episode, we explore the "I've Got It" trap. The reflex of taking on every responsibility until we’ve effectively trained everyone around us to stop offering help. I break down the 70% rule as a tool for letting go of control and discuss the reality of public versus private identities, using Taylor Frankie Paul’s recent experience to highlight why we all need the space to be "not okay" away from the pressure of an audience.
