At some point, we have to accept that everyone has their own lessons — and no amount of advice, rescuing, or emotional labor can shortcut that. In this episode, I talk about the problem with constantly inserting ourselves into other people’s issues, and the equally damaging habit of dragging people into our own. There’s a difference between healthy support and emotional dependence, and learning that balance is a huge part of emotional maturity. This episode is about boundaries, self-trust, and letting people — including ourselves — learn the hard way.
