EP 3361 You can guide them but don’t carry them


Listen Later

Leadership is about guidance, not rescue. In this episode of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O’Gorman explores the fine line between support and sacrifice. Whether you’re a leader, parent, partner, or coach, the truth is clear—you can show people the path, but you can’t walk it for them. Carrying others through their struggles robs them of growth and burns you out in the process. True strength is in empowering, not enabling.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why rescuing others often leads to resentment and exhaustion
  • The importance of boundaries in leadership and relationships
  • How to lead with strength without becoming a crutch
  • The mindset shift from fixer to mentor
  • Practical tools to support others without losing yourself
  • If you’re constantly carrying the weight for others, it’s time to reassess your role. Listen now to learn how to lead with clarity, compassion, and accountability.
