You know that moment when being the “nice one” stops feeling kind and starts feeling crushing? That’s where our final caller of the season finds herself: kind, empathetic, beloved by her coworkers—and drowning under the weight of everyone else’s problems. She’s not a manager. She’s not an HR rep. But somewhere along the way, she became the unofficial office therapist. And now, the constant venting, after-hours texts, and emotional labor are burning her out.

In this season finale, Jenny responds with her signature mix of warmth, wit, and straight-up wisdom. She holds space for what it means to be “the one everyone turns to”—especially when it starts to cost you your own peace. Jenny doesn’t just validate the exhaustion; she offers a powerful strategy: bore them. Yep. Get boring. Cut off the energetic supply with compassion, consistency, and just the right amount of weather talk. It’s about training the office to see you as capable—but not constantly available. Supportive—but not their sponge.

Jenny reminds us that empathy is a gift, but it’s not a job description. Whether you’re navigating your own “office therapist” moment or learning to reset long-standing dynamics, this finale will leave you seen, supported, and ready to say: I love you, but no.
