For decades, women have been told they can "have it all"—a successful career, a loving relationship, motherhood, financial independence, personal fulfillment, and a thriving social life. But what happens when the pursuit of having it all becomes exhausting instead of empowering?

• Why women often carry the invisible mental and emotional load

• The connection between perfectionism, burnout, and self-worth
