Episode 3023: Tonya Lester explores the exhausting cycle of over-functioning in relationships and how taking on too much responsibility can quietly fuel resentment, anxiety, and imbalance at home. She offers practical ways to reset expectations, share responsibilities more fairly, and let go of perfectionism so you can reclaim more peace, connection, and time for what truly matters. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.tonyalester.com/blog/are-your-working-too-hard-in-your-relationship Quotes to ponder: "Over-functioning isn’t about excellence, it’s about anxiety." "If you’re going to micromanage the way things are done, you are not truly giving away the responsibility, and it is staying on your mental dashboard of things you need to take care of." "Something must give. The likelihood is that if everything must be exceptional, nothing really is." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
