このコンテンツについて
You’re not exhausted because you’re weak. You’re exhausted because you’re trying to do it all alone. This episode calls out the toxic myth of rugged individualism—and shows you how connection isn’t just emotional support. It’s survival.
We’ve glorified independence and turned burnout into a badge of honor. But the truth? Even the strongest among us need backup.
In this episode:
Why “doing it all” is a trap, not a flex
The loneliness epidemic—and how it’s killing us
How to ask for help without guilt or awkwardness
What real community looks like (and how to build it)
Stop pretending strength means isolation. You’re not a machine—you’re a human being. And you were never meant to do life alone.
Listen now.
