Episode Synopsis
🎧 PART 1 - SUPPORT | The Wrong Words PodcastSupport. Is it help, a crutch, a partnership, or a quiet surrender? Oliver and Luon dig into a loaded word people use every day in relationships and life. In this episode, they question whether asking for support signals the death of personal agency, a strategic request for help, or something else entirely. Expect sharp examples, the table versus book analogy, and a clear split between emotional and structural support.🧠 In this episode, we explore:What people really mean when they say support versus what they actually wantThe “death or surrender” idea versus support as a partnership or strategic helpStructural support (beams, tables) versus human support (encouragement, participation)How language shapes enabling, accountability, and honest requests in relationships📚 We unpack:Real examples from couples and coaches about misplaced expectationsThe subtle difference between asking for support and offloading responsibilityWhy saying exactly what you want changes everything: help, participation, or validation💥 Key moments include:The table and book analogy: when support holds weight versus when it participatesThe coach’s lens: “I am here to help” versus “I am here to support” and why that mattersHow support can become comfort that prevents growth, and when it rightly becomes collaboration🛠️ You’ll walk away with:A short checklist to use next time someone asks for support: is it help, partnership, or offload?Language to request or offer support clearly and without resentmentPractical prompts to avoid enabling and to invite real participation and accountability🎧 This episode is brought to you by Levonye Professionals.
