Episode #35: Why Being The Superhero Isn't Actually Saving Anyone

In Episode #35, "Why Being a Superhero Isn’t Actually Saving Anyone," we explore the emotional weight of constantly playing the hero in other people’s lives and how it can backfire on your own well-being and goals.

From people-pleasing to boundary-setting, this episode takes a deep dive into why some of us feel compelled to save others, the toll it takes, and the liberation that comes when we step back and allow others to become their own superhero so you can become your own!
