Listen " Over-functioning as survival: When softness feels like a death sentence."
Episode Synopsis
You guys asked us to run it back on this topic so here we go again- This one's for the overachievers, emotional contortionists, and secret softies. Nique and Ress get real about the cost of being an over functioner — when vulnerability feels unsafe, and slowing down feels like failure. When being soft feels risky, and hyper-independence becomes your whole personality.From childhood pressure to adult burnout, they get vulnerable about emotional armor, grief over lost girlhood, and why slowing down feels terrifying (but necessary). If you’ve ever been praised for your independence while quietly drowning, prepare to feel seen.
