About this listen

 This week, I’m speaking directly to the women who always seem to have it together — the ones who are calm, capable, and endlessly supportive. You're the go-to for your friends, your family, your clients. You’re the one who says, “My DMs are always open,” and people take you up on that. But when you need support… where do you go?

Being the strong one is exhausting. It's not that people don't care about you — it's that you're just so good at caring for everyone else. And while that’s beautiful, it can also be lonely. I know this because I’ve been that person for years. And even though it might feel like you have to keep up the image of being bulletproof, the truth is you don’t.

In this conversation, I’m opening up about how masking strength all the time took a toll on me — and how softening, being honest, and setting boundaries changed everything. I’m sharing why empathy in business is powerful, how you can still be an incredible support without burning out, and what it means to be the rock without turning to stone.

If you've ever wished there was a “you” for you — someone who just gets it and holds space without needing anything back — then you're in the right place. You are not alone, and you don’t have to carry everything by yourself.

✨ Being the strong one is admirable. But you’re allowed to be soft, too. You’re allowed to need support. And you’re allowed to build your business in a way that honours your energy.
