Ep. 4 - The Pressure to Be Strong

So many of us learn to survive by becoming "the strong one" — the person who keeps going, keeps holding everything together, and keeps showing up no matter how hard life becomes. In this episode, we explore the emotional cost of always feeling like we have to be strong, and how that pressure can disconnect us from our own needs, softness, and humanity. We talk about vulnerability, self-compassion, and the lessons that have helped us soften the armor we carry. This conversation is a reminder that strength does not have to mean constantly pushing through alone.   Where Love Lingers poetry collection is available now.  Learn more about Heather's work at allthethings.com Learn more about April's work at timewithtea.com
