Pressure to Prove Yourself: How to Let Go of Perfection & People-Pleasing
Maybe you're not doing too much because you're ambitious. Maybe you're doing too much because you're afraid of what it means if you stop.
In this episode of Trusting Her Journey, we’re getting real about the pressure to prove yourself.

We unpack what real support looks like, why asking for help feels harder than it should, and how fear of being a burden keeps so many women locked in self-reliance.
Strength isn’t silence. And support doesn’t make you weak.

In today’s episode of Trusting Her Journey, we’re naming something many of us carry but rarely talk about...
