When Strong Became Too Heavy is an honest, relatable book for women who have carried too much for too long. In these woman-to-woman pages, Skie Lynn explores the invisible weight of motherhood, grief, changing friendships, starting over, controlling and manipulative relationships, boundaries, and the slow work of learning to trust yourself again.
