Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...) Episode Summary: You’ve always been the one who holds it all together. The one others lean on. The one who doesn’t break. But what happens when being strong becomes the reason you feel invisible? In this powerful episode, Jama Pantel explores the quiet weight of being “the strong one”—especially for women who’ve learned to lead, perform, and push through at the expense of their own needs. If you’ve ever felt like asking for help is weakness or showing your real self might cost you credibility, this conversation is for you. This episode will challenge what you believe about strength, leadership, and visibility, and remind you that you don’t have to carry it all alone.

You just have to be honest. • One real post. One honest moment. One brave ask for support. That’s where it begins.
