Somewhere along the way, I became the strong one. The one who pushes through. Keeps going. Doesn’t fall apart.

In this episode, I talk about how that strength was built…through moments like getting fired, failing, and having to rebuild myself from scratch in a brand new country - but let's not forget what it’s cost me. When being strong becomes your default, you don’t always notice when you’re tired. Or hurting. Or need help.

This is an honest reflection on resilience, over-functioning, and the quiet ways we stop showing up for ourselves.

If you’ve ever been the one who “handles it”… this one’s for you.
