There is a particular kind of exhaustion that many professional women carry. It isn't always physical. Sometimes it comes from being the person everyone relies on.
You become accustomed to solving problems, managing schedules, handling emergencies, and making sure things run smoothly. People begin to see you as capable, and because you are capable, they often assume you don't need support yourself.
Over time, that can become a lonely place to live.
One of the greatest lessons I have learned is that strength and self-care are not opposites. In fact, they belong together.
The strongest women I know are not the ones who push themselves beyond every limit. They are the ones who recognize when they need rest and honor that need without guilt.
If you have been carrying a great deal lately, I hope you will find a moment this week to care for yourself with the same kindness you offer everyone else.
