Episode notes
This episode gets into the real texture of being the person our family depends on: the pride, the pressure, and the exhaustion. We talk about carrying the mental load, stepping in because the language doesn’t always bridge itself, and the complicated ache of wanting our siblings to show up too. It’s honest, vulnerable, and a space where many of us will feel seen.
