Why "You're So Strong" Is the Worst Thing to Say

After her husband died, everyone told Leslie Harder Berg she was so strong. She believed them — and made it her job. In this honest conversation, Leslie unpacks how people-pleasing turns grief into a performance, why she spent years doing loss in a way that kept everyone else comfortable, and what finally broke that pattern. If you have ever held it together for the people around you when you were actually falling apart inside, this one is for you. From her book You're So Strong, this is the conversation about grief that nobody wants to have but everyone needs to hear. #Talents Follow Cody Instagram →   / cody.d.williams   YouTube →    / @codydwilliams   Facebook →   / codynow   Free Resources  What’s Your Budget Style?
