There’s a kind of grief no one prepares you for.

It’s not the grief of death.
It’s the grief of awareness.

In this opening episode of the Grieving What Still Lives series on The Unfinished Woman, Dr. Tee Carter explores the invisible grief high-capacity women carry when something hasn’t ended, but no longer fits.

You can outgrow a role without quitting.
You can shift in identity without collapsing your life.
You can feel heavy even when nothing is “wrong.”

This episode unpacks:

• Why misalignment feels like exhaustion
• How identity grief shows up subtly
• The difference between survival and alignment
• Why naming what shifted is the first step toward clarity

If you’ve been feeling “off” but can’t explain why, this conversation will give language to what you’ve been carrying.

In this final episode of The Myth of High Capacity, Dr. Tee invites you to reconsider what capacity truly means.

Is it endurance?
Or is it alignment?

For many women, high capacity became a survival strategy; carrying more, handling everything, proving strength through endurance. But just because you can carry something doesn’t mean you’re assigned to it.

In this episode, we explore:
• the difference between endurance and stewardship
• how to redefine capacity without self-abandonment
• why alignment often requires subtraction, not expansion
• and how unprocessed grief can quietly drive over-functioning

Sometimes what looks like strength is actually loyalty to an old version of yourself.

This conversation closes one series and gently opens the door to the next.

You are unfinished, but you are not unworthy.
And capacity, when stewarded with wisdom, becomes freedom

Rest doesn’t always feel peaceful.
For some women, it feels uncomfortable… even unsafe.

In this episode of The Unfinished Woman Podcast, Dr. Tee explores why slowing down can stir anxiety instead of relief; especially for women who learned how to survive early and stay strong through constant motion.

This conversation isn’t about productivity or discipline.
It’s about understanding what your body learned, and why stillness can feel unfamiliar.

If you’re tired but struggle to slow down…
If quiet makes you uneasy…
If rest feels like something you have to earn…

This episode is an invitation to listen gently and without judgment.

You are unfinished, but you are not unworthy.
And learning how to rest may be part of your healing.
