“Resilient” sounds like a compliment—but too often it’s used to excuse conditions that never should have existed in the first place. In this Bathroom Break episode, we unpack how praise for resilience can quietly become permission for systems to keep piling on more stress, more responsibility, and more harm.

This episode explores the difference between strength and endurance, why being labeled resilient often means you were forced to carry too much, and what people actually need instead: support, boundaries, and sustainable expectations.

If you’ve ever been celebrated for surviving something that shouldn’t have been normal, this episode is your reminder—you don’t need to be tougher. You need things to change.
