You’re the strong one. The reliable one. The one who holds it all together.
And the world praises you for it.
But here’s the truth no one talks about:
The very roles we’re applauded for are often the ones eroding us from the inside out.
In this bold and deeply honest episode of Surpassing Labels, we’re naming what so many high-functioning, soul-exhausted women feel but rarely say out loud:
That survival-mode roles like “The Fixer,” “The Giver,” and “The One Who Always Has It Together” may have protected us—but they’ve also buried us.
We explore:
-
The disappearing act women are celebrated for
-
The emotional toll of "good girl conditioning"
-
How praise can become a prison
-
And the courageous shift from performance to presence
This isn’t about shame.
It’s about truth.
And it’s your invitation to stop performing for love—and start returning to the woman you were never meant to lose.
🌀 Reflection Prompts from This Episode:
-
What version of me gets the most praise?
-
What version of me is always tired?
-
Who am I when no one is watching and nothing needs to be fixed?
