Real Talk With TAS & OnJerya episodes

  • Why Is It So Hard to Put Yourself First?
    Why do we keep saying yes, showing up, and carrying responsibilities for everyone else when we are already running on empty? Dr. TAS and OnJerya unpack why putting yourself first can feel so difficult, especially when you have spent years being the dependable one. Their conversation moves through boundaries, changing your mind, letting people go, worrying about how others see you, and recognizing when caring for everyone else is leaving too little room for you.

    Did this conversation remind you of something you've experienced? Maybe you agreed with one of us, disagreed with both of us, or saw something in a different way.

    We'd love for you to keep listening!

  • Why Is It So Hard to Let Go of People Who No Longer Support You?
    What keeps us connected to people, relationships, and roles that no longer give back what we keep pouring into them? Dr. TAS and OnJerya return for 2026 with a candid conversation about recognizing when someone is no longer truly with you, letting go of one sided relationships, saying no, and making yourself a priority without abandoning the people you care about. They also explore why being the strong one can make letting go especially difficult and what changes when you finally recognize that everybody cannot continue to have the same access to you.
