The Page About Being Fine, Building the Wall, and Coming Back to the Real Me

Raise your hand if you consider yourself a strong and capable woman.

Now, let me ask you—what do you normally do when you face a challenge or a problem, or struggle with something? If you are anything like me, you probably just go ahead and solve this problem, or deal with this challenge, or handle this struggle - all on your own.

And when someone asks you if everything is okay and if you need help, you probably tell them, “It’s fine, I am fine, everything is fine”. Because you are a strong and capable woman, right?

Well, let me just say that if you are doing this, you might be missing out on something very important…

In this episode, I share the story of how I spent years building a very tall and thick “I am fine” wall around myself, and why now I am bringing it down—brick by brick.
