There’s a particular kind of woman people instinctively run to when life falls apart. She’s strong. She listens well. She prays. She shows up. And before she knows it, she’s carrying everyone else’s stories, struggles, and pain, often quietly, and usually without complaint.

In this episode of Keepin' It Real, Kimberly Haar and Kimberly Mullen talk honestly about what it’s like to be the go-to woman...the one people lean on, vent to, and expect always to have the strength, the words, and the faith to hold it all together.

We unpack the difference between being present and taking responsibility… between loving people well and slowly draining your own emotional and spiritual stamina. We talk about why you don’t have to fix, solve, or even respond with the perfect words, and how sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is let someone know you’re thinking about them and praying for them.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that just because you can carry something doesn’t mean you’re meant to. Ultimately, God is the One who carries burdens, not us.

Keepin’ It Real Question:
Are you the go-to person for friends and family? If so, how do you keep from wearing out?

Pull up a chair. This one feels like a conversation you didn’t know you needed.
