In this episode, Paige explores the fine line between caring for someone and enabling them, unpacking why letting people face the consequences of their actions is often the most loving—and respectful—choice you can make. Through relatable examples and practical advice, she dives into how unchecked empathy can erode your boundaries, delay someone else’s growth, and leave you feeling drained. Tune in to learn how to balance compassion with accountability and maintain healthy, respectful relationships.
