How To Stop Proving Your Worth Through Exhaustion - Heather Stewart

Why does rest feel uncomfortable? Why can support, ease, or success still feel unsafe—even after you’ve worked so hard for them? In this episode, Heather talks about the hidden belief so many women carry: that struggle makes things more valid, and exhaustion somehow proves your worth. She unpacks the suffering tax behind burnout, overgiving, and over-proving, and explores what it takes to stop living in survival mode and start building a life that actually supports you back. If you’re tired of feeling like peace has to be earned, this conversation is for you. Want support with this work in real life, not just in theory?
