Are you helping or enabling? with Claudia Noriega-Bernstein
Have you ever found yourself trying to fix things for the people you love? Whether it’s your child, partner, or friend, we want to help. We want to make things easier. But what if, instead of helping, we’re actually holding them back?
In this week’s episode of the Award winning Don't Shrink to Fit Podcast, I’m diving into a tough but necessary conversation: the difference between helping and enabling.
For years, I thought I was supporting my daughters by stepping in, solving problems, and shielding them from struggle. But I’ve realized that sometimes, the more we try to rescue someone, the more they sink.
The hardest part? Accepting that people will only change when they decide to, not when we want them to.
If you’ve ever felt the weight of someone else’s struggles on your shoulders, this episode is for you.
In this episode I share:
How my own experiences as a parent and partner showed me the cost of enabling
Why people resist change (even when they know they need it)
How to offer real support without creating dependency
A powerful mindset shift that will free both you and your loved ones
