Episode 42: When You’re Tired of Being the Strong One

April 10, 2025

< back to blog home

Have you ever felt like you’re the one everyone leans on… but no one asks how you’re really doing?

This episode is for the woman who holds it all together—but is quietly falling apart inside. If you’ve ever been told you’re “so strong” when you just want someone to say, “You don’t have to be right now,”—this one’s for you.

You’ll hear:

  • The emotional toll of always being the strong one
  • How “strength” can become a survival strategy rooted in trauma
  • Why softness and surrender are not signs of weakness—but of wisdom
  • A gentle nudge to lay it all down, just for a moment, and let yourself be held

This is your permission to exhale.
