They say it’s lonely at the top.

But the truth is it’s lonelier behind the mask.

This episode is for the woman who holds it all together.

Who shows up strong, steady, and reliable… even when her soul is unraveling in silence.

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it’s really costing high-capacity women to wear the identity of “the capable one.”

Not just emotionally, but energetically, financially, and spiritually.

We’re breaking down:

Why you can be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone
How being “the strong one” turns into a full-time performance
What starts to shift when you let yourself be seen, not just respected
