146. You Think You’re Independent… But This Is What’s Really Going On
Update: 2026-04-16
Description
You pride yourself on being independent. You handle everything. You don’t ask for help. You just figure it out.
But what if that’s not actually strength?
In this unfiltered episode, I’m breaking down a realization that hit me hard after a conversation with my therapist… and it completely changed the way I see “independence.”
Because what I thought was self-sufficiency…
was actually survival mode.
If you’ve ever felt like:
You have to do everything yourself
You struggle to trust people or delegate
You’re constantly overwhelmed but still saying “I got it”
You crave support but don’t know how to receive it
This episode is going to hit.
We’re talking about:
The difference between true independence and survival mode
Why hyper-independence is often rooted in protection
How this shows up in your business, relationships, and daily life
The hidden cost of “doing it all alone”
Simple ways to start letting people in without losing control
This isn’t about becoming dependent.
It’s about realizing you don’t have to carry everything alone anymore.
