In this episode, we’re talking about hyper-independence — what it is, where it comes from, and how to move through it with compassion and courage. If you’ve ever felt like asking for help is a sign of weakness, or that depending on others only leads to pain, this one’s for you. Let’s unpack the protective roots of hyper-independence and explore what healing looks like when we learn to trust, connect, and receive support.
