Why Being the Strong One Is Burning You Out

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2516124/fan_mail/new] Have you spent so much of your life being the strong one that you've forgotten how to let someone be there for you? In this episode of The Journey of an Awakening Spirit, Kathleen Flanagan explores the hidden cost of always holding everything together.

You'll discover why asking for help feels so difficult, how to recognize when your strength has become a prison instead of a gift, and a simple journaling exercise to help you reflect on what your strength has given you and what it has cost you.
