In this soul-centering episode of Midlife with Brooke, host Brooke Oniki invites you to release the pressure of carrying the emotional burdens of everyone around you. Whether you’re holding onto your children’s anxiety, your spouse’s stress, or even the emotional tension in a room—Brooke offers gentle, faith-rooted wisdom to help you let go of what was never yours to carry in the first place.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between supporting someone and absorbing their emotions
• Why emotional over-functioning is exhausting and unsustainable
• Real-life stories of learning to set down invisible loads
• How to stop being “the fixer” and start being emotionally available and spiritually grounded
• Tools for practicing emotional responsibility and boundaries—with love, not guilt

Brooke walks you through what it means to walk alongside someone in pain instead of trying to carry their cross, and how this shift can transform your relationships, your peace, and your connection with God.

Take This With You:

• You are not the Savior.
• You can support without solving.
• Emotional weight is not proof of love.
• It’s okay to feel peace—even when someone else is hurting.
