Description

Today’s question: “I want to help, but sometimes I wonder if I’m actually trying to take control. How do I know if I’m truly supporting someone or just making it about me?”

On this quick-and-punchy Summer Speedos edition of Journey With Care, your messy adviser, Johan, wades into the blurry waters where compassion turns into subtle micromanaging. With a dash of wit and a generous serving of honesty, the conversation explores how our well-meaning efforts to lighten someone’s load can sometimes accidentally become a full-scale project takeover. Drawing on a familiar biblical tale, relatable stories, and Johan’s signature charm, listeners are invited to reflect on the difference between genuinely supporting others and colour-coding their healing process. Settle in for a candid, good-natured look at navigating care, boundaries, and that fine line between being helpful and being the bossy friend in a cardigan—perfect for your summer stroll or lazy day in the sun.
