S2 E12: Personal Interlude - Strong Doesn't Mean Unbreakable

Everyone thinks being “the strong one” is a compliment.You’re the one who holds it together, speaks the truth, calls out the BS when no one else will.But what people don’t see is what it costs to always be that person.In this personal interlude, I open up about the emotional toll of being known as the “truth-teller” online - the constant negativity I have to wade through, the hate that comes with visibility, and the quiet exhaustion of always being the strong one.I share what it’s really like behind the screen - the meme pages, the racist and sexist abuse, the stories of scams that flood my inbox - and how all that darkness can wear even the strongest person down.This isn’t a rant. It’s an honest, human moment about vulnerability, purpose, and remembering that strength doesn’t mean being bulletproof.If you’ve ever been the one everyone leans on, this episode is for you.
