Carrying It All, Leading Automatically & Giving Yourself Permission to Be You

We’re opening the year by continuing an important conversation.

In Part 2 of The Gap We Live In''s episode 3, we continue exploring the deeper gaps experienced by those who are often expected to carry everything and lead automatically. When responsibility becomes assumed and leadership is expected without consent, identity can quietly form around pressure rather than purpose.

This episode invites listeners to pause, reflect, and reconsider what it truly means to lead and serve well. We discuss how unaddressed expectations create gaps in our relationships, within ourselves, and in how we show up in the world and why reconciliation, healthy conflict resolution, and self-awareness are essential for healing those gaps.

Most importantly, this conversation reminds us that we all have permission to be ourselves. You are not valuable only for what you carry or how well you hold things together. You are a gift to this world and the world needs who you are, not just what you do.
