In this episode of The School of Hard Knocks, I open up about what it feels like to be caught in the impossible middle—navigating the toxic expectations of corporate culture and the invisible weight of caregiving for a loved one.
We talk about the emotional burnout no one prepares you for, the exhaustion behind always being the strong one, and the quiet grief of losing parts of yourself while keeping everyone else afloat.
If you’ve ever felt trapped, unseen, or just done—this one’s for you.
