We talk about being the strong one — the go-to fixer, the light in the room — and the silent toll it takes. This episode unpacks what happens when you carry emotional weight that isn’t yours and how childhood roles shape your burnout today.
This episode opens up about learning to say no, releasing guilt, and letting others grow without you carrying their burdens. This is your reminder: you are not responsible for saving everyone.
Topics Covered:
- Why strong people suffer silently
- The danger of constant people-pleasing
- Childhood trauma & the fixer identity
- Reclaiming your time, peace, and energy
If you’ve ever put yourself last for the sake of others, this episode is your wake-up call.
