When does responsibility become identity?
Growing up as the oldest daughter taught me how to lead, care for others, and solve problems before they became crises. Those skills opened doors throughout my career—but they also made it easy to confuse capability with obligation.
In this episode, I explore how childhood roles often follow us into adulthood, why dependable people struggle to put things down, and what it means to build a life that's actually sustainable.
Whether you're an educator, caregiver, leader, or simply someone who's always been "the responsible one," this conversation invites you to rethink what truly belongs on your shoulders.
