About the Book
A Book for the Woman Who Carries It All
You've been carrying more than you were ever meant to hold. The silent question of "Why am I so tired?" echoes in your soul—and the answer is simple: you've been calling self-sacrifice "strength."
In You Don't Have to Be Strong Today, Kenya Parks shares a deeply personal journey through burnout, faith, and rediscovering her worth beyond endurance. With honesty and spiritual insight, she unpacks the hidden cost of always being the reliable one—and the freedom that comes from surrendering what was never yours to carry.
If you've ever loved deeply while running on empty, this book reminds you: your strength is not measured by how much you endure.
