Summary

In this Growth Spurt, Dr. Gabby Caviedes unpacks the hidden downside of always being "easygoing." While adaptability and flexibility can be strengths, constantly minimizing your needs can lead to resentment, exhaustion, and feeling unseen. Gabby challenges listeners to examine where they may be staying small to keep the peace, and explains why healthy growth sometimes requires speaking up and taking up space.
