but because somewhere along the way, you convinced yourself that being the strong one meant you had to carry it all. I was coaching a client this week. I’ll call her Sarah. Sarah’s what I like to call a domestic engineer, or other people might call her a housewife. She runs the household like a Fortune 500 company.

She keeps everyone’s schedules straight, supports her husband, raises amazing kids, checks on family, volunteers, and somehow still finds time to encourage other people. If someone needs something, they call Sarah.

During our session, I asked her one question, “Sarah, who do you call?” She smiled, looked down, and [00:01:00] after a long pause she said, “I don’t.” And man, that hit me, not because she didn’t have people around her, because she had quietly accepted a lie that strong people don’t ask for help. Can I tell you something?

That’s not strength. That’s isolation dressed up as strength. Here’s this week’s coaching knowledge nugget. Strong people don’t burn out because they carry too much work. They burn out because they carry too many people. There’s a difference. Your job may wear you out, but carrying everyone else’s emotions, everyone’s expectations, everyone’s problems,

that empties your tank. So here’s my challenge for you this week. First, ask yourself if every burden you’re carrying actually belongs to you. Just because you can’t carry it, doesn’t mean you’re supposed to. .. Second, find one person you don’t have to perform for, one person where you can be honest, not pretending, not fixing, no armor, just you.

And finally, stop measuring your value by how needed you are. Your worth was never determined by how many people depend on you. Your worth comes from where you are, not everything you do. So remember, even the strongest [00:02:00] shoulders weren’t designed to carry everyone’s weight alone, and you’re that person everyone runs to.

So I hope you remember this. You deserve a safe place too, because here at Time to Shine Today, we don’t wanna have anyone to feel like they have no one.
