If you’ve ever found yourself staying, enduring, or pushing through something that is quietly wearing you down, this episode is for you.
Many women have been taught explicitly or subtly, that endurance is strength, that suffering is noble, and that staying silent is a sign of faith, maturity, or love. Over time, this belief conditions women to tolerate pain, normalize suffering, and dismiss their own needs in the name of doing “the right thing.”
In this episode, Michelle explores the dangerous belief that keeps women enduring far longer than they were ever meant to. She unpacks how endurance becomes spiritualized, why pain is often mistaken for purpose, and how many women learn to override their own emotional and physical signals to survive relationships, roles, and environments that are harming them.
This conversation is not about blame or quick fixes. It’s an invitation to awareness. To pause and ask yourself the question many women avoid: How much more am I enduring and why?
If you’ve been feeling exhausted, conflicted, or quietly overwhelmed while telling yourself to be strong, this episode offers language, clarity, and permission to see your situation differently.
You are not weak for feeling the weight of what you’ve been carrying. And you were never meant to endure pain and suffering as a measure of your worth, faith, or strength.
