In this episode, I’m sharing something I’ve been holding back for a while. It's a vulnerable one.
This is a personal one—about my fertility journey, but more than that, about the identity I didn’t realize I was holding onto: being “the strong one.”
I talk about what it’s looked like to carry that identity, why it’s no longer working for me, and what I’m learning about letting it go.
We also get into:
– how grief and joy can exist at the same time
– why you don’t have to have it all together to move forward
– and what it really means to let yourself be supported
If you’ve ever felt like you have to hold everything together… this one’s for you.
If this resonated with you, share it with someone who might need it or leave a review—it helps more people find the podcast 🤍
