    The Weight of Holding It All Together

    Why does everyone call you when things fall apart. Friends, family, the people closest to you. You’re the one who listens, who holds it together, who shows up no matter what. But what happens when the person holding everyone else up starts feeling heavy too? In this episode, Keisha is talking about the emotional weight of being “the strong one.” The one who always has the advice, always has the time, always has the patience even when no one asks if you’re okay and why you might just have to cut your girlfriends off. Let’s get honest about burnout, boundaries, and what it really costs to be everyone’s safe place. Because holding it all together shouldn’t mean losing yourself in the process of it all. 🎧 If this sounds like something you are experiencing, this conversation is for you.
