Have you ever had those days where you’re not mad at anyone… you’re just tired? I know that feeling deeply. Tired of being the one who remembers, initiates, adjusts, follows up, explains, and makes everything easier for everyone else. Nothing is technically “wrong,” but the math never quite works out. You’re carrying the emotional calendar, the relational glue, and the spiritual bandwidth for two.
In this episode, I’m diving into what’s really happening underneath that exhaustion in one‑sided relationships—and why your nervous system keeps pushing you to do more instead of asking for support. That tiredness isn't a weakness. It’s data. And it’s pointing you toward a healthier, holier way of relating. I’ll walk you through how to recognize over‑functioning, why “being the bigger person” has kept so many of us small, and how to start shifting the equation without burning the whole thing down.
