About this listen
Being called “strong” sounds like a compliment. And it is. But it can also become a role you don’t know how to step out of. In this episode, we’re talking about the “strong woman trap” and why it’s one of the quickest paths to burnout, especially when you’re the one everyone relies on and you’re quietly running on fumes.
We’ll unpack the red flags that often look harmless on the surface. The “I’m just tired” and “I’m just busy” symptoms that are actually signs you’re overstretching, over-functioning, and carrying far more than is healthy. We’ll cover patterns like compartmentalising emotions, the “I’ll just do it myself” reflex, and why support can be right there but still not feel accessible.
And we’ll finish by redefining what real strength actually is. Not endless endurance, but awareness. Not proving you can do it all, but noticing the pattern early, letting yourself be supported, and making small shifts before your body or your life forces you to.
