When Strength Became A Prison | The Weight She Carries - Pt. 2

You built your strength to survive. And it worked.But somewhere between holding everything together at work, carrying the weight of your family, and showing up for everyone around you, strength stopped being something you chose. It became something you had no choice but to perform.In this episode, Sheila De gets honest about what happens when the armor you built to protect yourself becomes the very thing keeping you trapped. We talk about the cost of over-functioning, what it really means when your value starts to diminish itself, and why the leadership cohort moment that challenged her to be vulnerable nearly broke her open, in the best way.This is the episode for the woman who has been strong for so long she doesn't know who she is without it.You'll hear:Why strength as an identity becomes a prisonThe moment Sheila was told they valued the role, but not the person in itWhat happens when you over-communicate your value so much it starts to work against youWhy resistance to being seen is actually a weapon, and how to put it downYour permission to say no, rest, and stop rising to every occasionS.H.E.
