We really need to normalise saying: “Actually, I’m exhausted.”
Not: “I’m fine, just busy.”
And I’ll be honest… I don’t always get this right either. There are days I’m holding a lot, and I have to catch myself before I slip into the same pattern of pushing through and brushing it off.
But I’m learning (right alongside you) that keeping up appearances doesn’t help anyone. Not us, and not the other women quietly doing the same thing.
Because exhaustion doesn’t disappear just because we look like we’re holding it all together.
There’s something powerful in being honest about it.
Even just starting with: “Actually, I’m exhausted.”
