When team roles create unequal emotional burden in client relationships

Our consulting team specializes in helping farms transition to organic certification, and we've developed this rhythm where I do most of the difficult conversations with resistant farmers while my colleagues handle the technical documentation, but lately I'm burning out on always being the 'bad guy' and I don't know how to redistribute this emotional labor without it feeling like criticism of their conflict-avoidance.

What we've seen

You're always the one stuck having the hard conversations, and you're burning out but can't say so without sounding critical of your colleagues.
