Strong Girls Get Tired Too: The Emotional Cost of Being Everyone’s Rock


Listen Later

This one's for the strong girls who are bone tired.
For the moms holding it together while their world falls apart.
For the ones who create emotional safety for everyone else—but forget how to give it to themselves.

In this honest and unfiltered solo episode, Jessalynn opens up about what it really feels like to be everyone’s rock while quietly breaking. She shares her daughter’s recent heartbreak, the trauma it’s resurfaced from her own childhood, and the weight of trying to hold a family together through it all.

She also unpacks:

  • The wound of believing you have to suffer to be worthy
  • What it means to finally stop caring what others think
  • The power of not chasing down gossip or trying to control the narrative
  • Why your healing doesn’t have to look perfect
  • And how it’s okay—more than okay—to fall apart

This is your permission slip to stop proving, stop pretending, and let yourself be human. You’re allowed to break. You’re allowed to be held. And you never had to earn that in the first place.
