You’re the one everyone leans on.
The calm in the storm.
The “resilient” one who never breaks.
But carrying strength can be its own kind of heaviness.
In this episode, we explore the emotional and psychological toll of being "the strong one"—especially for caregivers, leaders, first-gen achievers, and those raised to be selfless, dependable, or emotionally invincible.
We talk about:
Why people learn to suppress their needs in favor of being strong
How this burden shows up in your body, boundaries, and burnout
The cost of never feeling safe enough to be vulnerable
Why rest, softness, and support are not signs of weakness
How to begin releasing the identity of “the strong one” without losing yourself
This is your permission to be human, without apology, without performance.
