When Your Strength Becomes Your C...
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.
