This episode explores why we often take on family members' emotions and how that habit creates stress and disconnection. Jill Pack explains the difference between caring and taking responsibility for someone else's feelings, using personal stories and a scriptural example of compassionate presence.

You'll learn practical steps to respond differently: notice when you’re carrying emotions that aren’t yours, ask what the other person needs, and practice offering presence instead of solutions. The episode also outlines three supportive actions—normalize, validate, and empathize—that help loved ones process emotions without you trying to fix them.

By creating space for others to feel, you can deepen relationships, reduce your own distress, and offer more genuine support.
