S2 Episode 20 The Cost of Being the Strong One — When Strength Becomes Your Silence

🔥 “You’ve mastered survival… but forgotten what it feels like to be supported.”

You’re the strong one. The rock. The one who always shows up — no matter what it costs you. But what happens when strength stops being empowering… and becomes a cage?

This episode of Get Up Show Up Never Give Up pulls back the mask and exposes the hidden cost of always being “fine.” We’re talking about the weight no one sees, the grief of being invisible, and the truth behind toxic resilience.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why “being strong” often starts as a trauma response (Harvard, Stanford, Mayo Clinic research included).
• The silent grief of carrying everyone while no one carries you.
• The physical price of emotional suppression — and how your body keeps the score.
• How to break free from toxic resilience and rediscover your humanity.
• Practical frameworks to honor your strength without losing yourself to it.

This isn’t about abandoning your strength. It’s about reclaiming your softness, your voice, and your right to be held too.
