About this Episode:

Let’s talk about what happens when the “strong friend” can’t hold it all together anymore.

I joined Jazzmyn Proctor on All Our Parts to talk about a season of life that nearly broke me—and how I’m slowly learning to let myself be supported in ways I never thought I needed.

We get into grief, burnout, parenting neurodivergent kids, getting a late-in-life neurodivergent diagnosis myself, and the quiet heartbreak of realizing that some friendships only work when you’re performing. It’s vulnerable. It’s messy. It’s real. And it’s a conversation I think a lot of us need to be having right now.

If you’ve ever struggled to receive love, to ask for help, or to feel safe being anything other than “fine”—this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why strong, hyper-independent people often wait until they’re falling apart to ask for support

  • How I’m rethinking friendship and community after experiencing grief and burnout

  • The ways I’ve unconsciously masked in relationships—and how that’s changing post-diagnosis

  • The loneliness that comes from being seen only in your “top version”

  • How to curate a community that can hold all of you—not just the polished parts

  • The practice of letting yourself be held, without apology
