There comes a point where holding it together becomes heavier than letting it out.
In this solo episode, I’m sharing a moment from a recent mentorship space where the room was filled with unspoken weight — women carrying responsibilities, expectations, grief, pressure… and trying to keep smiling through it.
Then something shifted.
A simple prayer gave us permission to release — to cry, to exhale, to admit we’re tired of being strong all the time.
This episode is for the woman who keeps pushing, keeps producing, keeps showing up… while quietly holding everything in.
You don’t have to carry it alone.
And sometimes the most healing thing you can do… is let it out.
We talk about:
Why high-functioning women suppress emotion
What happens in the body when we don’t release
The spiritual + emotional permission to cry
How release creates regulation and clarity
Why tears are not weakness — they’re processing
If you’ve been holding it in… this is your permission moment.
