When Your Strength Becomes Your Cage
Connected Through Change: Two Voices. One Journey by Russell Betts
Episode notes
In this episode, we explore:
- Why high-functioning people experience a unique kind of fatigue
- The hidden cost of always being “the one who handles it”
- How overfunctioning quietly reshapes your relationship
- Why your strength may be preventing real balance
Key idea: You aren’t just tired—you’re relationally depleted.
Reflection: Where have you become the bridge—and what is it costing you?
Next step: Just notice it. No fixing. No pressure.
