Sis, ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world?

Like if you don’t handle it, no one will?

Like you’re the one holding your house, your business, your family - and your nervous system together?

Same.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real, raw truth about what happens when we—women—slip into “protector mode.”

When we become the man of the house... even when we’re married to one.

If you’ve ever:

  • Been stuck in hustle or hyper-independence
  • Felt the pressure to be the provider, the planner, the protector
  • Snapped into survival mode when things go sideways
  • Struggled to soften, slow down, or receive support…
  • Then this episode will hit deep.

We’re talking trauma patterns, nervous system overload, and why healing this is essential, not just for your wellbeing, but for your relationships, your business, and your joy.

👉🏽What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • How childhood trauma shows up in your leadership and relationships
  • Why your nervous system is stuck in “go mode” (and how to regulate it)
  • The “man of the house” energy that so many high-achieving women carry
  • How I’m healing this dynamic in my marriage, business, and body
  • What we really need to feel safe, supported, and held

🔥 Want to go deeper?

If this cracked something open and you’re ready to finally soften and lead without burning out…
