The Hidden Cost of Being 'The Strong One' — How to Put the Weight Down

This episode explores the hidden emotional costs of always being the "strong one" — exhaustion, loneliness, and the unconscious reasons you keep support at arm's length. Ravi Tangri shares a personal story, explains the idea of "hidden wins" that protect but hurt you, and reframes strength as the ability to receive help and set healthy boundaries. To learn more about hidden wins, listen to episode 16 at https://www.ravitangri.com/16.  Practical, small steps are offered: make micro-asks for help, try a nightly release ritual to let go of burdens, and journal to uncover why you push people away. The episode also suggests seeking coaching or counseling to work through deeper patterns. Schedule a complimentary virtual coffee with Ravi at www.CallRavi.com.
