In this soul-deep episode of Give It Heart, we break open the myth of “keeping it together” and explore what it really means to listen to ourselves before we collapse. Shanea unpacks the cultural pressure to “be strong” and stay silent — and how systems like patriarchy, capitalism, and toxic spirituality benefit when we ignore our own unraveling.

Through story, symbolism, and reflection, we journey into the power of noticing — not as a passive act, but as sacred resistance.

From journaling as a spiritual practice to decoding a soul-equation of survival (∅ ∩ ∑ ∼ ∞ + ♻️), this episode invites you to reclaim softness, presence, and the quiet truth under the noise.

Whether you're on the edge of burnout or beginning to come back to yourself, this is your permission to pause, to witness, and to make space for what’s real.
