Fuck Being the Strong One! 💥 Episode 2 of our 5-part podcast series is here — and we’re coming for the “strong one” identity Gen X women were handed without consent. 🧠 In this powerful, hilarious, and painfully honest episode, Kira breaks down the emotional toll of always being the capable, dependable, fix-it-all one — and why it’s not strength, it’s survival mode. 🙋‍♀️ If you’ve ever: <ul data-start="637" data-end="918"> <li data-start="637" data-end="728"> Been the unofficial family therapist, tech support, and event planner — all before noon </li> <li data-start="729" data-end="786"> Managed everyone else’s needs while ignoring your own </li> <li data-start="787" data-end="860"> Thought “if I stop holding this all together, it will all fall apart” </li> <li data-start="861" data-end="918"> Secretly fantasized about running away to a goat farm </li> </ul> …this one’s gonna hit deep. And probably make you laugh out loud. ✨ What I cover: <ul data-start="1013" data-end="1380"> <li data-start="1013" data-end="1078"> Why Gen X women are soul-tired — not just physically worn out </li> <li data-start="1079" data-end="1149"> The inherited patterns that confused people-pleasing with strength </li> <li data-start="1150" data-end="1218"> What it actually means to build self-worth (not hustle for it) </li> <li data-start="1219" data-end="1296"> How being the “strong one” is often just a well-disguised trauma response </li> <li data-start="1297" data-end="1380"> Why real strength starts with community, emotional regulation, and actual support </li> </ul> 👯‍♀️ The truth: This isn’t just a “you” thing. It’s generational. And it’s time we stopped doing this alone. 💛 Ready to stop white-knuckling your way through midlife?
