What happens when empathy goes too far? In this solo episode, I explore the emotional cost of being the one others lean on — especially when we’re already carrying more than we can handle. From the quiet pressure to stay available, to the slow erosion of our own needs, this is an honest look at the tension between caring for others and protecting ourselves.
There’s no easy formula, but there is value in naming the invisible weight — and in learning how to stay soft without staying stuck.
