You’re the one who keeps things moving.
You notice what needs to be done. You smooth things over. You fix the mess.
Most days, no one sees the invisible load.
You’re tired. Not just physically.
Tired of managing moods.
Tired of being the responsible one.
Tired of holding it all in.
When one person carries this much, it affects everyone around them.
I Understand...
You have a lot of roles
You stepped in when it was needed. Over time that turned into something you’re always expected to carry.
There's no time for you
Your needs keep getting pushed aside because someone else always feels more urgent.
You’re expected to do it all
People count on you to be the "strong one," which makes it hard to say when you’re not okay.
When It Starts to Feel Like Too Much
It Usually Is
Of Course,...
-
You love your family, but you feel worn down by the constant needs.
-
You keep giving even when your running on empty.
-
You’re snapping, shutting down, or feeling numb and you don’t like it.
-
You want things to change and don't know where to start.
Hi, I'm Teri!
Some women don’t fall apart. They keep things running. They handle what needs to be done.
From the outside, it looks like coping. Most of the time, it is. But staying functional doesn’t mean it isn’t costing something.
Being the one who holds things together often leaves very little room to acknowledge just how much you’re carrying.
