We often think of tolerance as a virtue.
But what happens when tolerating becomes a way of abandoning ourselves?
In this episode, I explore the subtle ways we adapt, accommodate, and contort ourselves long after something has stopped serving us. Whether it's a relationship, a commitment, a habit, or even something we once loved, there comes a point when holding on drains more energy than it gives back.
Sometimes we blame ourselves when things no longer feel right. We assume we need to try harder, be more grateful, or simply push through. But what if the discomfort isn't a sign that you're failing? What if it's your inner wisdom asking you to pay attention?
Together we'll explore:
• Why toleration can become a form of emotional armor.
• How fear keeps us holding onto what we've already outgrown.
• The difference between resilience and self-abandonment.
• Why your energy is often the first messenger that something needs to change.
• How creating space for what truly nourishes you begins with an honest inventory of what you're carrying.
This isn't an invitation to make dramatic changes overnight.
It's an invitation to notice.
To become curious.
And to ask yourself one simple but powerful question:
What am I putting up with that I no longer need to carry?
Perhaps what you're calling exhaustion isn't a lack of strength.
Perhaps it's simply the weight of tolerating too much.
