Listen Later

We all say we want support. But are we really ready to receive it?

In this episode, Heather sits down with Dr. Ashley Blackington to talk about the invisible load modern women carry, especially those who are caregiving, leading, and over-functioning in every area of life. From burnout to decision fatigue, this conversation unpacks what it actually looks like to take your power back in emotionally uncomfortable ways.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

🩶Why emotionally intelligent communication is a required life skill 🩶How martyrdom culture keeps women stuck in burnout cycles 🩶The mindset shift that helped Ashley reclaim her time, energy, and identity

If you’re tired of carrying the mental load and ready to lead your life differently, this conversation is for you.
