The Invisible Burden: Why You’re Exhausted (Even When You ‘Have It All’) | Ep 82
Are you secretly carrying the emotional weight of everyone around you—while silently falling apart inside?
High-achieving women are often the strong ones, the fixers, the glue that holds it all together. But beneath that strength is a hidden burden: the crushing pressure to manage everyone’s moods, needs, and potential breakdowns. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on hyper-responsibility—why it happens, how it hijacks your peace, and the subtle ways it’s stealing your energy and joy. If you’ve ever felt like the world would fall apart if you stopped holding it up, this is your wake-up call… and your permission slip to let go.
