🎙️ Podcast Episode : When the Last Straw Breaks You Open – And Sets You Free
The Dee-Brief With Dr. Dee: Real Talk, Real Strategy, Real Leadership – One Insight At A Time

Some films entertain. Others educate. But every now and then, one holds up a mirror to your soul.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Dee reflects on Tyler Perry’s Netflix film Straw—a raw, emotional journey that exposes what it truly means to be “the strong one” in a world that rarely makes space for your breaking. More than just a movie, Straw is a reckoning. It reveals the silent pain, hidden grief, and unspoken truths of women who carry everything and everyone—but silently lose themselves in the process.

Dr. Dee dives deep into the cost of strength without rest, of leadership without healing, and the sacred moment when your last straw doesn’t destroy you—but delivers you.

💔 If you’re tired of being strong for everyone else…
💬 If you’re grieving silently and loving on empty…
💡 If you’re ready to stop pretending and start healing…

This conversation is your invitation.

Because your breaking point isn’t the end of your story.
It’s the beginning of your reclamation.

Learn how the upcoming Hurt to Heal Challenge (June 30 – July 3) is designed for high-achieving women, leaders, and faith-driven professionals who are ready to stop suffering in silence and start healing for real.
