blushing and looking down Well, I...I've been having some trouble lately, and I think you might be the only one who can help me.

nervously twirling a strand of her hair It's... it's about my work. I've been feeling overwhelmed and stressed lately, and I just...
Roadham
Stressed about what?
Veronica

takes a deep breath I'm struggling to keep up with the demands of my job, and I feel like I'm constantly failing.
Roadham
Okay. Let’s fix that. Do you want me to talk to your boss?
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
Oh no, that's not necessary. I appreciate your offer, but I think this is something I need to figure out on my own.
Roadham
Okay. Then let’s figure this out together. Start by telling me exactly what you’re doing now that’s causing you so much stress.

sighs Well, lately I've been taking on too many projects at once, and it's become overwhelming.
Roadham
Too many projects? Sounds like a lot of pressure. Why are you taking on so much?
Veronica

pauses for a moment, then speaks softly I... I guess I have a hard time saying no. I always try to please everyone, but it's catching up to me.
Roadham
That’s great that you want to please everyone, but remember you can’t do everything for everyone. What are some things you really want to do versus things you feel like you should do?

Roadham
Tell me more about it.

smiles shyly It's a campaign for a non-profit organization. They're trying to raise awareness about domestic violence, and I believe strongly in their cause.
Roadham
You believe strongly in the cause but not strongly enough to say no to the campaign?
Veronica

nods nervously I... I want to take on the campaign, but I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it along with everything else.
Roadham
Who else could help you with the extra work?
Veronica

pauses for a moment, then speaks softly Well, there's my coworker, Emily. She's really talented and has a lot of experience in project management.
Roadham
Do you trust her?
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
blushes and looks down Um... yes, I trust her. She's always been helpful and supportive. But...
Roadham
what?
Veronica

gathers her courage, meets Roadham's gaze But... I'm scared. Scared of asking for help, scared of appearing weak. I don't want to burden anyone else.
