[QT] Being Strong Isn’t the Same as Being Okay

You’re dependable. Capable. Always there for others.
But under the surface — are you running on empty?

In this episode of XO Conversations, Dr. Rishma Walji explores what it really costs to be “the strong one.” You’ll hear about the quiet emotional toll of carrying too much, how overfunctioning leads to cognitive overload, and why selflessness can slowly turn into invisibility.

We’ll talk about:
✅ Why being capable often leads to being overlooked
✅ The mental load and its effects on your creativity and emotional flexibility
✅ Subtle signs you’re carrying too much
✅ How to redefine strength (and rest without guilt)
✅ 2 micro-practices to start feeling like yourself again

If you’ve ever thought “I should be able to handle this,” or “I don’t want to need help,” this episode will speak straight to your heart — and gently remind you: You don’t have to do it all.  And you don't have to do it all alone.

📌 This is for the women who’ve been holding it all together for too long — and are ready to be seen and supported again.
