What happens when you're constantly misunderstood? When you're the reliable one everyone depends on, but you have nowhere to turn when your own energy is depleted?

In this soul-stirring episode, Jennifer and Veronica have an authentic conversation about the exhaustion that comes from constantly meeting others' needs while abandoning your own. They discuss the painful reality of being misunderstood, the pressure to appear strong when you're breaking inside, and the transformative power of setting boundaries.

Through personal stories and wisdom gained from their own journeys, they explore:
• How to recognize when you're giving too much of yourself
• Finding the small circle of people who truly understand you
• Learning to ask for help without feeling like a burden
• The importance of sitting with your pain before moving forward
• Finding strength through faith when life knocks you down

This episode is for anyone who feels drained from constantly pouring into others while neglecting themselves. It's a gentle reminder that you don't have to be the "forever energy" for everyone around you, and that true self-care begins with honoring your own needs.
