You’re the one who always shows up, the one who handles everything, the one who has it all together but what happens when you’re holding so much… there’s no space left for you?
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the subconscious identity of “the strong one” - the pattern high achieving women subconsciously adopt to stay safe, in control, and on top of it all.
We’ll explore how this pattern forms, how it silently costs you in business and leadership, and most importantly, how to rewire it so you can expand your capacity without breaking under the pressure.
Topics covered on the pressure to always have it together:
- How subconscious identities like “the strong one” form (and why they feel so familiar)
- The hidden cost of always holding it all - emotionally, energetically, and strategically
- How this pattern sabotages your business behind the scenes
- Four rewiring practices to build safety in support, softness, and being held
- The role of parts work, repetition, and identity anchoring in shifting this pattern for good
