Strong-ish

What’s the Price of Being the Strong One?

In this episode of Unbalanced AF, Cheryl and Jenna—two tired, type-A, firstborns—dig into the emotional toll of always being the capable one—the one who shows up, holds it all together, and still finds time to plant-based meal prep like a boss (or order from Greens + Grains like the regulars we are).

We talk about what it means to be “strong” because we were the first: the guinea pigs, the nurturers, the ones who had to rise to the occasion whether we were ready or not. And how that kind of strength comes with a side effect we don’t talk about enough—not knowing how to slow down, and feeling like we need permission to rest or do nothing at all.

Also in this episode:
🍳 The non-stick pan incident—because sometimes, you just can’t anymore
😅 That awkward moment when someone says, “I don’t know how you do it,” and we’re like, “Yeah… us either”
🧠 Avoidance as a survival strategy (aka pretending everything’s fine)
😴 The guilt of resting, and how hard it is to let people see the cracks

Because being strong isn’t about doing it all—it’s about knowing when to stop, breathe, and not spiral because you forgot to soak the cashews.
