## Resource

In this 10-minute solo episode, I share one simple but powerful piece of advice I received from a therapist years ago that transformed the way I show up in my relationship: "Stop picking up the sock." This episode dives into the emotional and energetic cost of over-functioning in a relationship, the way we unconsciously slip into manager or caregiver roles, and how that slowly chips away at intimacy and connection. I unpack the nervous system patterns behind this behavior, the impact of the invisible load, and offer five practical ways to break the cycle. so you can build a partnership rooted in shared responsibility, mutual respect, and deeper love. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything in your relationship and still not feeling appreciated, this one’s for you. ♾ In a fast-paced world like the one we live in, time is one of our most important assets. For a few minutes every episode, I, Tannaz Hosseinpour, will be discussing topics that aim to enhance the quality of your life, by helping you feel empowered to take inspired action on your personal growth journey.
