Rage Against the Audacity wants you to think about when is the last time you felt you had Permission to be Human? This episode explores the Emotional Labor Tax—the invisible work of managing everyone else's emotions while yours go unmet.

It's the invisible, unpaid work you do every day to keep relationships from imploding:

• Crafting texts for twenty minutes to avoid "triggering" someone
• Becoming the designated family mediator during drama
• Remembering everyone's birthdays while yours gets forgotten
• Providing endless emotional support while receiving none back
• Making yourself smaller so others can feel bigger
