What if I told you that feeling responsible for everyone's safety, happiness, and wellbeing isn't about being a good person—it's actually a form of mental torture? In this raw episode, I share real stories from people trapped in responsibility OCD, including a woman who hasn't taken out the trash in 8 YEARS because of garbage truck fears. 💔
If you've ever forced a family member to shower after being near something "contaminated," or felt like you're the only thing standing between your loved ones and disaster, this episode will help you understand what's really happening—and why it's stealing your life.
