Work Club 002 - Emotional Baggage Doesn’t Carry Itself

Let's Talk About It

Show Notes

We all carry baggage. The question is—what are you doing with it?

In episode 2 of Work Club, we’re diving into the emotional weight we carry from past experiences, and how it shows up in our relationships today. From defensiveness in conflict to perfectionism, fear, and feeling like your needs don’t matter—we’re unpacking the hidden stuff that’s easy to ignore but hard to live with.

This isn’t therapy, but it’s real. And it’s what healing looks like when you do it in community.

We’re not just talking about what we should set down—we’re sharing what we’re working on laying down right now, in real time.

Because if you want to live in God’s design for sex and relationships, you’ve got to get honest about what’s actually in your bag.
