Episode Synopsis

Burden Bearers are those who tend to take on the responsibilities and situations of others; sometimes to the detriment of themselves. In this episode, Halleluya Dunn joins us in a poignant discussion about how she navigated continuous family losses.  She candidly discusses how she continued to be "the strong woman" and eventually realized it was negatively impacting her mental health.  Through her journey, she recognized that she had to show up for herself, before she could assist in shouldering the burdens of those around her.   She offers concrete wisdom from her experiences in therapy and encourages us all to ensure that we don't forget about ourselves in this journey called life.  For those who tend to be caretakers or just emphatic towards the needs of others...you definitely want to check out this episode!
