Guest interview with Valerie Mowery

In this conversation, Kylie and Valerie discuss the concept of over-functioning in relationships and the need for healing. Valerie shares her personal story of feeling lost and disappointed in her life and how she discovered that she had been over-functioning. Over-functioning, as Valerie explains, is taking on things that are not ours to take on and losing ourselves in the process. The root of over-functioning is self-doubt and a lack of self-worth. Valerie emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, exploring our feelings, and confronting the lies we believe about ourselves in order to heal. Healing is a journey that requires ongoing self-reflection and the support of others. The conversation explores the importance of curiosity and self-awareness in relationships.

The conversation also touches on the impact of over-functioning in various relationships and the healing that comes from being seen and known. The key takeaway is that curiosity and self-love are essential for personal growth and healthy relationships.
