Ever find yourself carrying someone else’s emotional backpack… and wondering why your shoulders hurt?
Today we unpack four real-life questions about emotional boundaries, relational burnout, and the art of letting go of what was never yours to hold. You’ll hear raw, relatable stories, from being exiled from a beloved community group, to walking away from a relationship where you were doing all the emotional heavy lifting, to healing a strained mother-daughter dynamic, and navigating triggering conversations around money.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- “Am I responsible for fixing this?”
- “How do I honor my limits without hurting someone else?”
- “Why do I feel so hooked right now?”
…this episode offers guidance, clarity, and a whole lot of compassion.
You’ll learn:
- Why fixing is disapproval
- How to set a boundary without bracing for a fight
- A script for naming recurring patterns without activating defensiveness
- What to say when someone demands emotional labor you can’t give
- Why your triggers might be invitations (not threats)
Come for the aha moments, stay for the soul-soothing reframes. This one’s a deep dive into the messy, brave work of staying rooted in yourself—especially when it would be easier to collapse, comply, or control.
