Episode Synopsis

You’re the one everyone counts on. The one who shows up, holds it together, and carries the weight; for your family, your team, your community.
But… who holds you?
In this episode, Juan and Jenna unpack the hidden weight of being the strong one. The one who’s always there for others but struggles to admit when they need help. This conversation is for the high-capacity leaders, achievers, and caregivers who have started to realize… strength has a cost when it becomes your entire identity.
This is your permission slip to stop believing the lie that your worth is tied to what you produce or how much you can carry.
In this episode:


The silent pressure to be the strong one... and where it starts


Why being strong often becomes part of your identity


The emotional and spiritual cost of carrying what you were never meant to hold


The difference between healthy strength and self-protection


How to begin releasing the burden, asking for help, and remembering who you are to God


Mentioned in this episode:
Next week, we’re leaning into a conversation that could shift everything for you; “Stop Holding Back: The Courage to Ask God for What You Really Want.”
