Learning to Be Held After a Lifetime of Holding

For most of my life, I was the strong one.Growing up as a first-generation immigrant, I learned how to take care of others early—how to be responsible, resourceful, and steady.But at my wedding, a small moment in my cousin’s speech reflected something back to me I hadn’t fully seen…That I had learned how to let someone take care of me.In this episode, I share a personal story about identity, receiving love, and what it means to be held after a lifetime of holding everything together.This is a reflection on strength, softness, and the quiet ways we begin to open when we no longer have to carry it all alone.Follow, rate, and share if this resonates.You can write to Maggie at [email protected].
