Are you the “strong friend” in your circle? The one who always shows up, holds everything together, and carries the weight of everyone else’s struggles? While being dependable and supportive is a gift, it can also come with a hidden cost—frustration, resentment, loneliness, stress, and even physical symptoms like panic attacks and high blood pressure.

In this episode of The Friendship Tour, I continue The Strong Friend Series with Part 2: The Strong Friend Unmasked.

Here, we discuss:

✨ What makes it difficult for the “strong friend” to show vulnerabilities

✨ The unspoken baggage we often carry

✨ How burnout shows up when you’re always the “go-to” person

✨ Why we are not superheroes—and why that truth matters for our health and friendships

✨ Latasha’s powerful personal story of letting go of the “superhero cape” and finding true freedom

If you’ve ever felt like the reliable one - the “strong wife,” “strong sister,” or the “strong friend,” this conversation will remind you that strength doesn’t mean carrying everything alone.
