I’m Not the Strong Friend Anymore
from Women Who Don't Apologise · host Patricia Haywood
There comes a moment when you realise you’ve been holding everyone up…and no one has been holding you.In this episode, I talk about reaching capacity, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and the decision to stop being the “strong friend.” The one who checks in. The one who holds space. The one who motivates everyone else while quietly leaking inside.This is about recognising limits.About grief.About releasing roles we never volunteered for.I talk about what happens when you’ve absorbed too much for too long and why choosing yourself isn’t abandonment, it’s survival.If you’ve ever felt like the sponge everyone squeezes, this one is for you.
