Listen "When Helping Hurts: My Journey as a Recovering Enabler"
Episode Synopsis
From the age of 16, I thought I was helping the people I loved. Whether it was taking care of my dad after my parents’ divorce, or supporting my brother through his struggles, I believed my sacrifices were love.But at 39 years old, I had a hard realization: what I thought was helping was actually enabling. In this episode, I share the story of how I uncovered this painful truth—and how learning to stop enabling transformed my relationships and my sense of self.If you’ve ever felt like you give and give while getting nothing in return, this one’s for you.✨ As always, this podcast shares personal stories and experiences.
