020. When "I'm Fine" Is Code For "I'm Falling Apart"

Episode 20: When “I’m Fine” Is Code for “I’m Falling Apart”
You know the script. You say you're “fine” with a smile… but inside, you're unraveling.
In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Dr. Rolanda Fabien, founder of Bright IDEA Consulting and the Inner Realm Wellness movement, opens up about what it really means to be the strong one—the high-achieving, always-on, always-there woman who’s silently suffering under the weight of her responsibilities.
🎙️ In this episode, we talk about:
The hidden cost of saying “I’m fine” when you’re really not
The spiritual and emotional toll of silent burnout
How to recognize when your coping strategies are no longer working
What God says about rest, surrender, and asking for help
How to reclaim your peace without abandoning your purpose
This is for the woman who’s done it all—career, caregiving, leadership, legacy—but feels like she’s one unraveling away from breaking. If that’s you… take a breath. You don’t have to hold it all together. Not here.
