Episode #7: What happens when you're the one everyone else leans on — and you're quietly running on empty? Today's conversation moves through the layered experience of holding space for others while running out of gas — from community leaders juggling motherhood and mission, to the ache of watching your inner growth outpace your outer reality. Zoey and Brittany get into the difference between burnout and self-abandonment, why delegation actually requires trust (not just asking for help), and why this whole collective season can feel like one long waiting room.
Along the way, we sit with two community members in very different liminal spaces — one caught between an old identity and a new one, and one facing grief, instability, and the hard work of learning to feel safe inside her own body again.
