Summary
"She's so strong."
That's what people say when a woman holds it all together on the outside but what happens when she's quietly suffering inside?
In this episode, Heather sits down with entrepreneur and mother Lily Walla, the founder + CEO of Auggie, for a conversation about the stories women often don't tell—the health scares, the quiet fears, the identity crises, and the hidden rage that shapes how we show up as mothers, leaders, and humans.
Lily shares how a life-threatening tumor reshaped her sense of self, why she built a parenting community rooted in honesty, and how she's learning to surrender in seasons of uncertainty.
In this episode, we talk about:
🩶 The emotional toll of being the "strong one" through crisis.
🩶 Why storytelling and community are essential for maternal mental health.
🩶 The real reason women are over-functioning—and what healing actually looks like.
There comes a point when carrying it all becomes unsustainable. This episode is a call to release the pressure, share your truth, and choose a different way forward.

| 1:02.1 | about Lily was honestly her open and authentic story and just her open personality. When when i interviewed her she was about eight months pregnant |

| 1:58.1 | and a founder and somebody who raises capital and is building a community |
| 2:05.0 | as well for like-minded women. So in this episode, we talk about the emotional toll of being the |
| 2:10.3 | strong one. I think oftentimes we're like, I'm the strong one. It's like, it's not a badge of honor |
