When You’re Not Okay but Still Have to Show Up (Real Talk for Faith-Filled Women)

We'd Love to Hear your Feedback!

How long are you going to carry the weight of everything and still act like you’re fine?

You’ve spent too much time being the strong one, the dependable one, the “I got it” one—while silently running on empty.

In this unfiltered episode of The Squad Podcast, Coach Tocha Moore gets honest about the kind of tired sleep won’t fix.
The emotional weight.
The mental heaviness.
The spiritual weariness that comes from always showing up while secretly falling apart.

She reminds you: you don’t have to earn rest. You don’t have to fake strength.
 And you don’t have to keep pushing just to prove you're okay.

And becoming takes energy.
 It takes surrender.
 It takes knowing when to pause, not just perform.

No more pretending.
 No more pushing past your capacity.
 No more performing for people who only see your strength, but not your soul.

It’s okay to say,
 “I’m not okay… but I’m still here.”

In this raw and real episode of The Squad Podcast, Coach Tocha Moore opens up about something many of us are carrying quietly—exhaustion. But not just the kind that a nap can fix. She unpacks the emotional, mental, and spiritual weight that builds when we keep showing up for everyone else while silently running on empty.

With honesty and grace, Tocha reminds us that rest isn’t earned—it’s essential. She challenges the pressure to perform and invites us into a deeper conversation about vulnerability, self-awareness, and the courage to pause.

This episode is a breath of fresh air for anyone who feels like they’re doing all the things and still wondering why they feel so worn out. You are not alone, and yes—you’re still called, even when you're tired.
