The Cost of Doing it Alone: Unpacking Hyper-Independence

Description

In this episode, we dive into the concept of hyper-independence, especially as it shows up in young adulthood. I break down how to recognize when “protecting your peace” crosses into emotional isolation, and explore the root causes—like trust issues, societal expectations, and past wounds. I also open up about my own experience with hyper-independence and share practical tools to help you move toward healing. Join me as we challenge the idea that strength means doing it all alone—and learn how vulnerability can be the first step toward deeper, more authentic connection.
