About this listen
In this episode, we break down the vital distinction between helping (doing something for someone that they cannot do for themselves) and enabling (doing something for someone that they can and should do for themselves). We discuss how enabling often stems from a place of love but results in a lack of accountability, and we provide a roadmap for shifting toward empowering support that encourages independence and long-term change.
