Sometimes, what may appear to be weakness- breaking down, crying, withdrawing- is actually the strongest thing we can do.
Feeling like you always have to be the strong one? Michelle Anderson gets it. In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', she dives into the idea that sometimes, being strong and courageous isn't the answer. Michelle, who’s often seen as the rock in her family, opens up about the times when she envies those who allow themselves to be vulnerable.
She shares a personal story about a soft-spoken woman she met at dinner, and how that encounter made her rethink her own approach to strength. Michelle also turns to her secret Facebook group, asking women how they feel about taking a break from always being strong. The responses are eye-opening. Many agree that while strength and courage are invaluable, there’s also immense power in allowing oneself to break down, cry, and take a step back.
It’s a reminder that what might seem like weakness is often the bravest thing we can do. This episode is packed with personal reflections and practical advice on self-care and self-compassion. Michelle encourages listeners to embrace their softer side and give themselves permission to fall apart when needed. She emphasizes that there’s strength in vulnerability and that it’s okay to lean on others for support.
If you’re tired of always having to be the strong one, this episode offers a refreshing perspective. It’s a heartfelt conversation about the importance of being kind to yourself and finding healing in unexpected places. Tune in for a dose of inspiration and support from a community that truly understands.
