You’re the strong one. The calm one.
The one everyone texts when they’re unraveling at 2 AM.
You hold space, offer clarity,and give language to feelings people didn’t even know they had.
You’re the therapist friend.
But… who checks in on you?
In this episode, we talk about the hidden cost of being the emotional support system for everyone else, while quietly breaking down yourself. This is for those who are fluent in other people’s pain but struggle to speak their truth. The ones who feel like they’re not allowed to fall apart because someone has to hold it together.
We explore:
How emotional labor becomes expected, not appreciated
Why resentment grows in relationships where you’re always the giver
The loneliness that comes from never being asked, “How are you, really?”
The shame spiral of needing help when you’re known for being the helper
And the grief of feeling unseen in a role you didn’t choose, but can’t seem to step out of
We also dive into a creative metaphor—how being the “lens” for everyone else’s emotions can make you feel invisible in your own story.
This isn’t just a vent session. It’s a reclamation.
A reminder that being intuitive, supportive, and emotionally available doesn’t mean you owe your energy to everyone.
You’re allowed not to be okay.
You’re allowed to pause.
You’re allowed to stop carrying things just because you know how to.
Therapy is Expensive So Here We Are is a solo podcast for the ones who are healing out loud—softly, creatively, and with full permission to be human.
No perfect answers. No silver linings. Just the truth in real time.
