This episode is a soft landing space for the ones who are always strong, always pouring, and rarely pausing. A Hug for the Strong Friend dives into the weight of being “the dependable one” and the quiet exhaustion that often comes with it. Together, we explore what it means to create safe spaces in friendships, to let go of unrealistic expectations, and to allow yourself to rest without guilt.

We’ll talk about the power of community — how leaning on others doesn’t make you weak, but actually makes you whole. You’ll hear reminders about showing yourself love in the little ways, opening up when you need support, and trusting that the seeds you planted in spring and summer are about to bloom in this new season of fall.

Most of all, this episode is here to remind you: you are not alone, you are worthy of love and softness, and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. Consider this your hug, your deep breath, and your permission slip to rest.
