We explore the profound realization that the gap between saying "I'm fine" and feeling like you're falling apart isn't weakness—it's extraordinary strength. Through a moving story about a client who sat with her dying mother for 18 hours straight, we discover how we often mislabel our deepest strengths as inadequacies.
• The way we automatically respond "I'm fine" while carrying immense internal pain
• How we diminish our profound acts of love as "what anyone would do"
• Reframing grief not as proof of falling apart, but as evidence of how deeply we love
• Recognizing that what we label as "too much" might be our greatest gift to others
• The importance of seeing our sensitivity and intensity as superpowers, not flaws
• A guided mindful moment to connect with your own resilience
