The Sugar Jar Podcast - Yasmine Cheyenne To The Strong Ones

So many of us are self-proclaimed “Strong Ones.” Some of us have chosen this title because we hope it will help us stay safe.  Some of us didn’t have a choice and were in circumstances growing up or at some point in our lives where it was clear that being unequivocally strong was the only way we'd survive.   There’s been a lot of talk about “the strong ones” and checking on “your strong friends” but the truth is that all of us - every single one of us - has an area in our lives where we might feel like we have to be strong and that there’s no one who can support us in that area. And that self-perceived strength often keeps us from asking for help, it keeps us from receiving help, and it keeps us from support.   In this episode, I walk through one of the tougher times in my life where my “strong one” facade was starting to crumble. I hope that this episode allows you to see that needing care is perfectly okay. It’s human. It’s beautiful. It’s freeing. And it’s how we call our power back.   I want to hear from you, do you relate to being a strong one?
