You can be strong … and still feel tired.

You can carry it all … and still feel empty.

And somewhere along the way, you may have started to feel disconnected, not because you lost yourself, but because you’ve been carrying more than you were meant to.

In this episode, we talk about the weight so many women are holding quietly …

the pressure to keep showing up …
 to keep handling everything …
 to keep pushing through …

And what it looks like to begin setting some of that down.

Because you can’t step into more while carrying everything.

And you don’t have to keep doing this alone. 🤍

Hi everyone, welcome back to Tapestry of Faith. I'm Susan D. Crumb, and I'm really glad you're here. I want to talk about something today that I think a lot of women are quietly carrying. And on the outside, it might look like you're handling it. You're showing up, you're getting things done, you're carrying what needs to be carried. But on the inside, you are tired. Not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, even spiritually. And here's the tension: you can be strong and still feel exhausted. You can be capable and still feel empty. You can be doing everything you're supposed to do and still feel like something is off. Because somewhere along the way, we started believing that being strong meant we shouldn't feel it. That if we're handling things, we shouldn't be struggling. But that's not actually strength. That's just caring more than we were meant to. And over time, that kind of caring can start to disconnect you from yourself. You don't lose who you are, but you can start to feel like you don't recognize yourself the same way. Because you've been so focused on showing up for everything and everyone else, you haven't had space to just be. I share more of these conversations on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. That's where I'm showing up consistently and sharing more of this journey. You can just look for me, Susan D. Crumb, and come say hi. I'd truly love to hear from you. And if you ever feel led to reach out, my messages are always open.
