The Strong But Struggling Podcast is for high-functioning women who look like they have it together — but feel like they’re barely holding it together behind closed doors.
Hosted by Alyssa Booth, licensed therapist and trauma-informed coach, this show is about getting out of the go-go-go → crash cycle and building a life you don’t have to recover from.
We have honest, raw conversations about:
• the weight of being the “strong” one — and how no one ever asks if you’re okay
• replaying conversations in your head at 11:47pm
• carrying the mental and emotional load for everyone
• saying “I’m fine” when you’re low-key drowning
• holding it together all week… then crashing
• looking calm on the outside but bracing on the inside
This is Survival Mode 2.0 — when your life looks stable, but your nervous system is still on high alert.
You don’t need more discipline.
You don’t need a better morning routine.
And you don’t need to prove you can handle it.
Most high-functioning women have the awareness, but they stay stuck because they’ve never felt safe enough to live differently.
If you’re self-aware, know your patterns and triggers, and are tired of collecting insight without real change, this is where we move from information to integration.
Strong isn’t the goal.
Steady is.
Supported is.
Regulated is.
If you’re done white-knuckling your life... Welcome!
