Listen "Episode 6- The Clutter of Care"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The EBD Show, Steve reads Chapter 4: The Clutter of Care from The Enough Bucket.
The Clutter of Care is what happens when good intentions go rogue. It’s when you care so much about your learners that you give them everything — every detail, every link, every download, every “just in case” explanation — until the message drowns in noise.
This chapter unpacks how compassion can quietly turn into chaos, why overhelping hurts more than it helps, and how to spot when your empathy has become excess. It’s not about caring less — it’s about clearing space so your care actually lands.
