💥 STUCK IN THE MIDDLE – ISSUE #197
Monday, July 28, 2025
For Everyone Caring for Their Parents, Kids, Marriage, and Sanity

🧠 Today’s Big Thought: You Can’t “Power Through” Everything

If you’re stuck in the middle, chances are you’ve mastered the art of pushing through.

You power through fatigue, frustration, and guilt—until one day, you crash.

Here’s the truth no one tells us:
Powering through isn't strength. Knowing when to pause is.

So this week, give yourself permission to:

• Say no to one unnecessary task.

• Ignore the dishes and go to bed early.

• Let someone else step up for once—even if they don’t do it “your” way.

Because you’re a human being, not a machine. And you deserve to breathe.
