The Strong Ones Are Tired with Marcy McKay
from The Nourisher Podcast · host Caylar Brinkman
There are two kinds of tired. The kind you sleep off, and the kind that's been quietly building for years. In this episode, I sat down with Marcy McKay — author, speaker, and mindset coach — and y'all, she had me looking at my own life by the end of it.Marcy opens up about her 2017 house fire and how it forced her to uncover something she never expected: perfectionism, over-functioning, and a lifelong need to be the fixer for everyone around her. What started as the worst thing that ever happened to her became the wake-up call she didn't know she needed.We talk about what high-functioning burnout actually looks like, the difference between CARE and CARRY, and why so many women are still hauling weight from 2020 that they never put down. Marcy even turned the mic on me a little!If you've ever driven somewhere and couldn't remember the drive, said yes before you even checked in with yourself, or reloaded the dishwasher because your husband did it wrong... this one's for you.Check out Marcy's books on Amazon!Transforming Your Stress - https://amzn.to/4cmPgWSPennies from Burger Heaven - https://amzn.to/4vj1xUBBones and Lies Between Us - https://amzn.to/3PPYTFVStars Among the Dead - https://amzn.to/3PPutDIThe Moon Rises at Dawn - https://amzn.to/3PTFfsBWork with Marcy McKay - https://marcymckay.com/Until next time, stay strong, stay connected, and keep growing!The Nourisher Podcast is for the woman who feels alone in her journey and is yearning for connection and sisterhood built upon vulnerability, authenticity, and open hearts.
