About this listen

 What does it really cost to carry someone else’s emotional weight? In this episode, we unpack the quiet ways people outsource their feelings, decisions, and self-responsibility — and how that drains your energy, clarity, and joy. From the constant interruptions to the subtle “helpless” behaviors, emotional outsourcing is a hidden tax on your life force. We’ll talk about how to recognize it, set firm energetic boundaries, and release the guilt around saying no. Because sometimes, the most loving act isn’t carrying someone — it’s letting them walk on their own.
