If you’ve spent years being the one who keeps everything running, today’s episode will feel like a deep exhale.We’re talking about what really happens when you become the “default caretaker”, not by choice, but by habit, conditioning, and everyone else depending on your consistency.This is the moment you finally notice the weight you’ve been carrying… and the first sign that something in you is ready to shift.You don’t have to hold it all.And you don’t have to disappear inside responsibility to be valued.
