What if you're not holding it together — it's holding you?
If you're the one holding it all together...
The schedule, the moods, the tension in the room before you've even put your bag down...
Then this episode is for you.
Nicki explores what happens when being the capable one stops being a strength and starts being the thing keeping everyone, including you, stuck. Not because they're unaware, but because the holding has become so normal it feels like just… life.
She shares her own story of hypervigilance, blended family dynamics, and the moment she realised that stepping back wasn't giving up — it was the most powerful thing she could do.
This is a conversation about what it really costs to be the one who holds it all. And what becomes possible when you finally put it down.
