Ever find yourself wondering if you're giving support or fostering dependency? In this pivotal episode of "Women’s Mental Health Podcast", we unravel the delicate threads between Helping and Enabling Behaviors—all through the lens of our lived experiences and needs. Joined by Randi Owsley, LMSW, and Jessica Bullwinkle, LMFT, we delve deeply into topics like Boundary Setting for Empowerment, Breaking Cycles of Dependency, and the ever-present Self-Care vs. Other-Care Dilemma. This episode is more than just a conversation; it's a bridge to transformative understanding for every woman striving to find her balance in helping others while nurturing her own wellness. Whether you're questioning your actions in relationships, seeking strategies for healthy support, or simply curious about this dynamic, tune in for a heartfelt exploration that's bound to empower and enlighten.

Understanding the fine line between helping and enabling can feel like walking a tightrope, especially when we're dedicated to nurturing those we love.  Let's journey together towards understanding, setting boundaries that serve our growth, and embracing the kind of support that transforms lives.

In our upcoming episodes, we will delve into the heart of women's mental wellness with a focus on empowering, not enabling. We understand the delicate balance between offering support and fostering dependency, and we're ready to explore this from every angle.  Join us, as we transform understanding into action, one episode at a time.
