The Context Many Women Were Never Given
Many women were conditioned early to equate worth with responsibility — and being the one others can constantly rely on. This conditioning is often subtle, normalized, and deeply internalized, especially for capable, caring women.
Over time, this creates an unspoken expectation to stay on, available, and alert — even when tired. Even when you’ve already done so much. Even when something inside is asking for permission to unplug, to see what really wants to be recognized.
This isn’t a personal flaw.
And it isn’t something you chose.
Naming this context isn’t about blame or revisiting the past.
It’s about relief.
When the pattern is seen clearly, it no longer has to be carried — and a different relationship with yourself becomes possible.
