In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher, Maurice Harker explores the overwhelming pressure many women feel to continue fulfilling their responsibilities, even when they are physically, emotionally, or mentally burned out. Through the metaphor of a “mother dragging her foot in a cast,” Maurice vividly illustrates how women push through their own pain, tending to the needs of others at the expense of their own healing. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing personal limits and creating space for recovery without guilt, especially when dealing with unhealed emotional trauma. This episode offers practical advice on how to validate your own needs, set boundaries, and protect your energy, even when others don’t understand your situation.
