I Think I Like You

3 ways overachievers can remain chronically single or struggling in relationships | Ep 143

In this episode I'm discussing how our propensity to work hard and get things done, and specifically the way we:

  • Place high value on something that's hard to achieve versus finding ease in our life
  • Avoid rejection and failure at all costs
  • Label ourselves as the planner and like to be in charge

...are all wreaking havoc (i.e. not leading to the lived experience we want) in our relationships — romantic, platonic, professional, etc.
