Episode 6- Being Too Agreeable? That Might Be A Problem... Ft. Natalie Waigwa

Hello!
This episode was such a fun time with Natalie where she shared her experience with over-agreeableness and why it matters to her. I think that despite the fact that mental health conversations have (rightfully) become important and almost ever-present online, agreeableness is not something that I think is given as much attention and thought in the greater conversations happening as it should be. Here are a few resources and articles on it that I hope serve and help you learn more about it.
