Unrushed: Less Stress, More MeaningEpisode 24 | Who's Got Your Back?

We talk about why capable, accomplished people often stop asking for support, not because there’s no one, but because they’ve been carrying it alone for so long they’ve forgotten what backup feels like. And we sit with the question that I think is worth as...

The problem? Many of the stories high-functioning women tell themselves are harsh, fear-based, or outdated. And these internal narratives quietly fuel chronic stress.
