Hey there.
This is Lynda with Rooted&Real.

2
00:00:23.568 --> 00:00:28.848
Today, we're going to touch on a topic
that I think most of us are going through.

3
00:00:29.848 --> 00:00:34.168
It is for the one who
is 'Quietly Struggling'.

4
00:00:35.288 --> 00:00:36.808
You're struggling with something.

5
00:00:37.048 --> 00:00:38.128
Is it an addiction?

6
00:00:38.728 --> 00:00:41.728
Is it a financial problem?

7
00:00:42.688 --> 00:00:43.528
No income?

8
00:00:44.648 --> 00:00:47.328
Is it rebellion from your kids?

9
00:00:48.408 --> 00:00:50.208
Is it abuse?

10
00:00:50.248 --> 00:00:53.088
Whatever it is, I want to talk to you.

11
00:00:54.648 --> 00:00:59.968
I know you're the strong one,
the one everyone comes to.

12
00:01:01.128 --> 00:01:06.288
But question is,
who do you go to when you're tired?

13
00:01:07.368 --> 00:01:08.688
You're good at pretending, huh?

14
00:01:09.888 --> 00:01:12.848
"I'm fine." You say it so well.

15
00:01:13.608 --> 00:01:15.128
Even you almost believe it.

16
00:01:16.128 --> 00:01:21.383
But inside, you're so exhausted.

17
00:01:21.408 --> 00:01:23.128
You lie awake at 2:00 AM.

18
00:01:23.888 --> 00:01:25.608
Your chest feels heavy.

19
00:01:26.608 --> 00:01:29.608
You cry, but you don't know why.

20
00:01:30.488 --> 00:01:31.623
You see, huh?

21
00:01:31.648 --> 00:01:35.808
Being the strong one doesn't mean
you learn to struggle quietly.

22
00:01:36.728 --> 00:01:38.968
You're not weak for struggling quietly.

23
00:01:39.808 --> 00:01:43.248
You were just never given
permission to struggle loudly.

24
00:01:44.168 --> 00:01:47.208
So today, here's the permission.

25
00:01:48.248 --> 00:01:52.448
You don't have to be strong today.
