Some people thrive in structure. Others feel like it exposes something. In this episode, I talk about two survival roles — the Operator and the Watcher — and how their nervous systems adapted to group dynamics where emotional expression wasn’t safe.
For the Operator, structure can feel threatening when it's tied to emotional vulnerability or responsibility. For the Watcher, structure can feel irrelevant — because survival meant staying invisible.
If routine, consistency, or closeness feel harder than they "should," this episode offers a deeper framework.
