It's Not That Serious (Even When it Is)

The Death of Being “The Strong One”


Listen Later

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.
