Michelle Curran Interview
Ever notice how the more capable you are, the more invisible your struggles become? It took me a long time to realize that being “the dependable one” comes with a quiet cost. People stop checking in because they assume you’re fine. I’ve lived a lot of my life being the person others leaned on. And yes, it’s an honor. But it’s also exhausting when you don’t feel like you’re allowed to have off days, doubts, or limits. Strength becomes the performance you keep showing up for, even when you’re tire
