The transition into new responsibilities often brings genuine stress and emotional turmoil. Individuals face numerous challenges as they manage their obligations, leading to frustration, especially when those around them make avoidable mistakes. This lack of preparation for the emotional weight of these duties can amplify feelings of distress.

Ryan Holiday, in his book "The Ego Is the Enemy," highlights that the complexity of our responsibilities often goes unacknowledged, contributing to the struggle. Without the right tools to navigate these challenges, it's difficult to cope with the burdens that accompany new life stages, making it essential to recognize and address these feelings.
