Episode 36 - The Cost of Being "The Strong One"

In this final episode of Season 1, Ivonne opens up about the hidden toll of always being "the strong one." As a therapist, business owner, and caretaker, Ivonne shares her recent personal experience of navigating life while holding it all together for everyone else — and what happens when even the strong feel like they’re falling apart.

We explore the emotional cost of being the reliable one, the silent weight of unspoken expectations, and the importance of allowing ourselves to ask for help. This is a raw and relatable conversation for anyone who’s ever felt like they needed to stay strong, even when their own world was quietly unraveling.

Whether you’re the go-to person in your family, your workplace, or your relationships — this episode is for you. Tune in and let’s talk about what it really means to be strong.
