I'm Not Tough, I'm Tired

We’ve been told that silence is strength. That holding it in, pushing through, staying composed means we’re mature, grounded, grown. But in this episode, I’m calling that out gently.

What if being quiet when it hurts isn’t strength?
What if it’s just survival we learned too well?

This week, I talk about the moments I stayed silent to keep the peace and ended up erasing myself. I share what it’s cost me to be “the strong one,” and how I’ve come to see the real work as bringing my inner child back — not to hide her, but to integrate her. To let her grow with me.

If you’ve ever been praised for being unbothered while you were falling apart in silence, this episode is for you. You don’t have to hold it all together to be whole. You don’t have to be tough to be worthy.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is let yourself be seen.
