Reseña del libro "STRONG IS GETTING EXPENSIVE (en Inglés)"
Everyone calls you strong. You handle the crisis, remember what everyone needs, solve the problem, and keep moving long after you are tired. Your competence has opened doors, protected people, and helped you build a life you are proud of.But what is your strength costing you?Strong Is Getting Expensive is for the capable woman who has become so dependable that no one notices when she is overwhelmed, including her. She manages the work, carries the emotional load, anticipates the next problem, and makes survival look effortless. Meanwhile, the bill appears in her health, relationships, peace, time, and sense of self.Drawing from her experience as an executive leader, human resources professional, wife, and mother, D. Austin examines how usefulness becomes identity and generosity becomes obligation. She writes honestly about early responsibility, medical leave, job loss, marriage, faith, rebuilding, and learning that being needed is not the same as being loved.This book will help you recognize the hidden agreements that keep you overextended. You will learn to separate responsibility from fear, guilt, and control. You will discover how to support people without taking ownership of their lives, ask for help before exhaustion becomes an emergency, and set boundaries without abandoning compassion or accountability.The Invoice Test will help you consider what every yes will cost in time, health, money, peace, and attention. You will also learn to make room for rest, enjoyment, ambition, and relationships that include you.This is not a call to become smaller, colder, or less ambitious. Your strength is not the problem. The problem is any relationship, workplace, or expectation that requires you to disappear in order to prove it.You can remain generous without becoming endlessly available. You can lead without carrying everyone. You can love people without leaving yourself behind.Keep your strength. Stop paying for it with yourself.
