In this episode, Megan Veselka opens up about her journey of self-reflection and realizing she had been giving too much of herself without ever asking for help. She shares the disconnect she felt between what she "should" be feeling and what she was actually experiencing—anger, frustration, and resentment creeping in despite checking all the societal boxes. Megan talks honestly about how this affected her family and why recognizing your limits and asking for support is such a crucial part of personal growth and mental health.
I've checked all these boxes, like I'm supposed to be happy now, but I'm not.
I was just giving, giving, giving, and doing it kind of in silence.
People would say, can I help? And I'd say, no.
You're not going to come in here and screw it up.
I realized it was like giving too much of myself away.
There wasn't really a lot left afterwards.
I felt really angry and resentful.
I was taking it out on my family, my kids, my husband.
That's really where the therapy process started.
I do it way better than you ever could.
