The Let Them Theory: Own Your Imperfection

In this episode, we break down Chapters 5 and 6 of The Let Them Theory—and the exhausting pressure to manage what other people think. From family dynamics to workplace image, we dig into codependence, covert contracts, people-pleasing, and the false belief that being lovable means being perfect.

We talk resentment, approval addiction, emotional manipulation disguised as virtue, and why trying to control others’ perceptions will wreck your relationships—and your sanity.

Also in this episode: monkey brains, emotional math, romantic breakups, and what happens when you stop performing and start showing up as yourself.
