Episode #1: The Day I Realized I Couldn't Carry It All Anymore.

For years, I was the woman everyone depended on. I was an ER and ICU nurse, a wife, a mom, and the one who always found a way to keep going. Then COVID happened. The long shifts, the loss, the fear, the impossible expectations… I told myself I was fine because I didn’t know any other way to survive.But I wasn’t fine.What started as carrying a little too much slowly became carrying everything. I didn’t fall apart overnight. I disappeared one small piece at a time beneath the weight of everyone else’s needs. Depression, alcohol, and hopelessness became part of my story until I reached a moment that changed everything.In this first episode, I share the story I’ve never fully told, the day I hit rock bottom, what finally woke me up, and why I believe so many women aren’t broken. They’re simply carrying more than any one person was ever meant to carry.If you’ve ever looked like you had it all together while quietly falling apart, this episode is for you.
