Listen "#25: How Helping Others Can Be What’s Draining You – How to Fix It"
Episode Synopsis
True leadership isn’t about carrying people—it’s about guiding them. In this episode, Episode 25 – How Helping Others Can Be What’s Draining You – How to Fix It, I explore the powerful shift from being a tugboat, constantly pulling people along, to becoming a lighthouse that illuminates the path. Leaders must have the energy to guide, not the exhaustion of forcing others to follow their way. There will never be a way for you to solve all the problems of those around you, and by trying to do so, you unintentionally take away part of their power. When you step in to fix things, you rob them of the opportunity to develop resilience, resourcefulness, and the confidence that comes from solving challenges on their own. True leadership is about empowerment, not control. I explore why enabling others can drain you. Constantly trying to push, pull, or convince someone to move in a certain direction is exhausting—not just for you, but for them. Growth has to come from within, and when you try to do things for others, they will never fully learn to rise to their potential. Leadership is about holding space, offering guidance, and trusting the process. Whether it’s through mentorship, emotional support, or even financial help, the key is to release attachment to the outcome. When you give, you must do so without trying to control what happens next. Only then can you lead in a way that is sustainable, inspiring, and truly transformational.
