    Episode Three: The Quiet Pressure to Cope
    Jan 16 2026

    In this episode, Zara talks about the quiet pressure to cope while living with chronic illness, including mental health.


    When you are still functioning, people often assume you are fine. But coping is not the same as feeling okay.


    This is an honest conversation about invisible effort, low energy, emotional labour, and what it really means to keep showing up as a mum inside a body with limits you did not choose.


    This episode is for anyone who is tired, still functioning, and quietly telling themselves they should be coping better.


    Not about fixing.

    Just acknowledging what is real.
