EP 120 | Part III: How our drive to be good, to be high achievers, to put other people's needs before our own keeps us single or stuck in unhealthy relationships

Today's episode marks part three in our series exploring patterns of the eldest daughter/hero child, and how that either leaves us chronically single or in really unfulfilling relationships — or some mix of the two!
Today's episode gets into how the behaviors we adopt, that initially serve as forms of self preservation and receiving love, like accomplishing a lot professionally, suppressing our own emotions and prioritizing others, always being on and striving — all things that have helped us advance in life — are, in many ways, in direct conflict with the behaviors and skills that build healthy partnership. That allow us to connect deeply with others, be supported and loved by others, be seen and witnessed in our authenticity.
In the episode I'm breaking down: How we do this, why we perpetuate this cycle, why changing these behaviors can be SO uncomfortable, but how we go about doing so.
