Summary
If people depend on you… This episode is for you. In this conversation with Jamin Rathbun, we talk about the hidden weight carried by high-capacity people, leaders, parents, business owners, coaches, pastors, and the “steady ones” everyone else relies on. Why do the most responsible people often have no one responsible for them? We unpack: The pressure of being the reliable one Why strong people quietly burn out What pastoral care actually means Why busyness can be avoidance The difference between having friends and being truly known How to build a life that can hold the weight you’re carrying This isn’t about weakness. It’s about wisdom. You can be competent and still need care. You can be strong and still need support. And if no one is checking on your soul… it might be time to ask why.
