115. Redefining Strong: Why Doing It All Isn't the Flex You Think It Is


Listen Later

In this episode, I'm getting real about the struggle of being the "strong one" and why doing everything on your own isn't the true flex. From solo parenting to managing a business and a full life, I share my personal journey of learning that real strength comes from knowing when to ask for help, embrace rest, and let go of perfection.

Key Takeaways:

  • Redefining Strength: I talk about how strength isn't about doing everything alone, but about knowing when to set boundaries, ask for help, and be vulnerable.

  • The Struggle is Real: I share my experience of feeling guilty asking for help while caring for my son while my husband was away for 4-months, even though I had an amazing support system.

  • Practical Tips for Letting Go of the "Do-It-All" Mindset:

    • Schedule rest first – rest is essential, not earned.

    • Delegate one thing this week and ask for help, from anyone!

    • Practice saying "I'm not okay, but I will be," embracing vulnerability.

    • Let something be imperfect – no need to be Pinterest-perfect.

    • Don't go through it alone – phone a friend and share the struggle.

This episode will speak to you if you're tired of burning the candle at both ends. If you're ready to let go of the "do-it-all" mentality and redefine strength, this episode is for you.
