In this episode, Carol speaks on the moment every woman eventually reaches — that breaking point where you can’t fake it, hide it, sugarcoat it, or “pray it away” anymore.

The day you finally say:

“I’m not okay… and I haven’t been okay for a long time.”

She opens up about how exhausting it is pretending everything in your marriage is fine while silently suffering. How you can look strong, sound strong, and act strong — and still be falling apart inside. She talks about constantly reassuring other people, keeping up appearances, and protecting a narrative that was never protecting her.

And then she shares the truth:

Sometimes the scariest freedom…

is admitting the pain out loud.

Carol explains the emotional shift that happens when your mask cracks — when you can’t keep covering a partner who doesn’t show up… when you can’t keep defending behavior that’s breaking you… when pretending starts hurting more than the reality.

This episode is for the woman who’s been:

• smiling while hurting

• functioning while numb

• loving while lonely

• breaking while pretending

• carrying a marriage by herself

• comforting everyone except herself

Carol walks listeners through the courage it takes to stop pretending, to finally honor your own truth, and to admit you deserve better — out loud.

Because the moment you stop performing for the world is the moment you start healing for YOU.

Take a breath, sis.

This one hits deep.

Clock that tea… and sip on THAT. 💜🔥
