We have been taught that our value is tied to how much we can carry. We’ve been conditioned to believe that "doing it all" is a badge of honor, when in reality, it’s often a fast track to burnout and resentment.
When you are trying to be everything for everybody at the same damn time, you aren't being "strong"—you are being self-sacrificial in a way that God never intended.
Here is the hard truth: Setting a boundary often feels like "letting people down."
But let’s reframe that. When you say "no" to an external demand that you don't have the capacity for, you aren't "failing" them. You are finally saying "yes" to yourself. You are choosing to stop the cycle of being the "strong one" who has no one to lean on.
In this space, we advocate for Jesus and Therapy. We pray for the strength to let go of the "cape," and we use therapy to unlearn the guilt that comes with rest. You are allowed to be a human being, not just a human doing.
