Podcasts about family dynamics

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Christina Chen, M.D. Alzheimer's Disease affects not only the patient but also has a significant impact on that patient's family. The family becomes stressed as emotional and physical burdens develop. The role of the primary care clinician in managing a patient with Alzheimer's is not only to care for the patient but also help and support families as they go through a very complex, emotional journey. Today's podcast will cover the changes in family dynamics which commonly occur in Alzheimer's Disease including caregiver burden, legal decisions which need to be made, and difficult ethical choices which will be made as the disease progresses. What are some common sources of conflict within families as they care for their loved one with Alzheimer's? What can we do as a clinician to help families through this difficult journey? How do we approach a situation where there's disagreement in the family regarding management? These are some of the questions I'll be asking my guest, Christina Chen, M.D., an internist and geriatrician in the Division of Community Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Alzheimer's Disease and Family Dynamics”.

In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton engages with Rick Walker, author of 'Nine Steps to Build a Life of Meaning.' They discuss the importance of family, the challenges young men face today, and the necessity of embracing failure as a pathway to growth. Rick shares practical advice for daily improvement, the value of reading old books, and how facing fears can lead to personal development. The conversation emphasizes the significance of community, accountability, and the pursuit of a meaningful life.   Takeaways Too many men are winning on paper, but losing themselves. The most important thing we do is who we raise. Life is merely a string of failures with occasional moments of perfection. Pain ultimately becomes the only pathway to joy. The purpose of a good man is to invade the evil that he sees around him. The two shall become one, it doesn't say that you stop being one flesh. The thing that you least want to do is the thing you most need to do next. If you don't know what you want, find out what you don't want to exist. The older the sage, the quicker the solution. If one man's done it, another man can do it.

Send us a textRHOSLC Season 6 Episode 8 Loose Lips Sink Friend ShipsThe yacht trip on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City continues with a heavy dose of hangovers and even heavier drama. Bronwyn wakes up on the deck after another rough night with Britani, while Heather nurses her own hangover and reflects with Whitney about what to do when a friend won't admit to wrongdoing. Lisa, hoping for sympathy, confides in Meredith about how she was treated the night before, but her attempts to clear the air fall flat when the rest of the group scatters the moment she appears. Things take a turn when Britani starts talking about Bronwyn within earshot, sparking yet another storm of overheard gossip.The tension explodes as Bronwyn tells Mary and Angie what she overheard, and soon everyone's accusing everyone of something. On the way to their snorkeling excursion, Bronwyn claims Britani was flirting with a crew member, and then Angie stirs things further by alleging Lisa once said her friend made out with Todd while he “farted the entire time.” Lisa denies nothing convincingly, while Mary delivers the unforgettable line, “Why is he farting?” The laughter is short-lived as the group struggles to maintain civility amid the island sunshine.A trip to the picturesque Tobago Cays offers temporary peace. Heather swims with stingrays, Whitney wins a beach drinking game, and Angie manages to injure her hand in yet another slapstick moment that brings Captain Jason running. Back on the yacht, Heather hosts a “Zombie Night” dinner meant to resurrect old fights for fun—but, predictably, the evening descends into real conflict. Bronwyn confronts Lisa for dragging her family into gossip, and Lisa promises to stop, though the tension between them simmers beneath the surface.Just when it seems the women might end the night on a calm note, Britani—fresh from being sick overboard—reignites chaos by bringing up a TikTok about Meredith's husband's alleged indiscretions. Meredith snaps, calling Britani a liar and throwing something across the table as Whitney confirms she saw the video too. Captain Jason arrives mid-fight to find the women screaming and slinging accusations once again. By the end of “Loose Lips Sink Friendships,” the only thing truly afloat is the drama, proving that even paradise can't keep these Housewives from sinking their own friendships.TakeawaysThe title 'Loose Lips, Sink Friendships' resonates across all franchises.The yacht trip highlights the complexities of friendships among the cast.Trust issues are prevalent, especially regarding Lisa's honesty.Confrontations often escalate quickly, leading to dramatic moments.Humor, like fart jokes, plays a significant role in the show's appeal.Personal insights about snorkeling reveal character depth.The thematic dinner adds a creative twist to the episode.Emotional outbursts often lead to physical reactions, like throwing things.Meredith and Seth's relationship is a recurring topic of concern.Family dynamics and their impact on friendships are crucial themes.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

This week, we will be studying Genesis 27:18-34 under the theme “Who Deserves Blessing From God?” All humans are living for some level of affirmation. We often even pretend to be something we're not to attempt to receive it. However, this pursuit typically backfires. Only when we hear clearly the opinion of the One who truly matters can we become our truest selves.Series Summary: Our fall worship series will lead us through the Book of Genesis, arguably the most profound, insightful text in human history. Over this series, we'll uncover how the narratives of Genesis reveal God's design for creation, humanity, relationships, and purpose. We'll explore truths that continue to shape our lives today, from the Garden of Eden to the promise of redemption.Add St. Marcus as your church on the Church Center App!Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

Two alarms go off across the same city, and the day splits: one morning sprints through breakfast prep, school runs, and budget math; the other flows with nannies, a chef, and a tennis lesson on the calendar. We use these parallel routines to explore how privilege changes not just outcomes but mindset - how decisions feel when every choice has a price tag versus when most frictions are outsourced. It's not a guilt trip or a fairy tale. It's an honest inventory of access, stress, and the stories we tell ourselves to cope.We get real about healthcare: why a rash becomes a concierge text for some and a two-week referral maze plus co-pays for others. We talk about credit and car loans, the quiet humiliation of “you do not qualify,” and the way interest rates end up choosing for you. We unpack gratitude culture - how working people already celebrate small wins - and argue that those with abundance owe a deeper practice of grace: fair treatment, less performance, more listening. If you're hiding wealth while carrying a Birkin, the signal is louder than you think.Family dynamics surface the sharpest edges. Adult children can hold pain and still take responsibility. Respect doesn't mean silence, but it does mean decency. We sit with the reality that many of us repeat what we were raised with - nannies, distance, expectations - until we decide to break the pattern. The throughline is ownership: of budgets and boundaries, of influence and impact, of the next decade regardless of the last one. Comfort and joy aren't the same. Joy takes practice - small acts, honest talk, and choosing substance over status.If this conversation made you think about your own life, share it with a friend, subscribe for more candid episodes -- and remember, at the end of the day, it really is All About The JOY! Thank you for stopping by.

Their life is picture-perfect—sparkly olive oil bottles, spotless counters, and a dog that wears a diaper. Melissa keeps things clean, organized, and tightly scheduled. Meanwhile, Joe's old-school work ethic keeps him gone from sunrise to dinner, leaving Melissa mostly alone at home.Down in Eastpoint, Georgia, Michelle and her husband Sean run a family business teaching Double Dutch aerobics. Their three kids, Sean Jr., Phoenix, and Maverick, live in a house full of chaos, laughter, and juice cleanses. They're all about joy, flexibility, and no rules—except for their strict vegan lifestyle.When the swap begins, both women are instantly out of their comfort zones.Michelle is dropped into a world of designer glam, cheese overload, and pristine decor. She can't get over Melissa's glittery olive oil and says, “You do not need to put glitter on your olive oil.”Melissa walks into a joyful mess—basketballs, snacks, and a sink full of dishes. Her biggest challenge: going vegan and finishing the Clark family's 10-day juice cleanse.As the women try to live by each other's rules, things get hilarious and heartfelt:Melissa cooks vegan pasta, but secretly dreams of a steak.Michelle teaches Joe and the Gorga boys how to double Dutch (and Joe's surprisingly good at it).Melissa bonds deeply with the Clark kids, realizing how much she misses her own children being little.Michelle learns to appreciate some structure—and that it's okay to let her husband have alone time.When rule changes kick in, Melissa buys the Clarks a foldable dining table, teaching them the value of family dinners and bedtime routines. Michelle enforces “together time” in Jersey, dragging Joe to his construction job in full glam—and right into a mud puddle.By the end, both families transform:The Clarks learn that a bit of order brings calm to their chaos.The Gorgas learn that joy and connection matter more than spotless floors. A month later, Melissa's house is still spotless—but she's prioritizing family time. The Clarks now eat dinner at the table (though they still leave the dishes till morning).Both women admit they've grown: Melissa's learning to “chill,” and Michelle's learning to clean—with purpose.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Heather Hester is the host of the podcast More Human. More Kind., and the author of Parenting with Pride. As a speaker, coach, and LGBTQ+ advocate, she helps parents, allies, and organizations move from fear to fierce, informed love with clarity, compassion, and courage. She believes in the magic of connection and that kindness and belonging aren't just a feeling, they're a practice. We discuss the importance of allowing children to express themselves through costumes, the need for curiosity in parenting, and the value of setting boundaries in relationships. We also touch on the evolution of family traditions and the necessity of reevaluating what works for families as they grow and change. Ultimately, we encourage people to embrace change, explore new experiences, and prioritize authenticity in their lives. Takeaways Halloween is a time for kids to explore their identities through costumes. Parents should encourage curiosity about their children's choices. Traditions can evolve and should be reevaluated over time. Setting boundaries in relationships is essential for personal growth. It's okay to feel grief and sadness when traditions change.

Send us a textWipe Swap-Solar Panels & Salon BlowoutsPodcast Summary – Wife Swap S1 E1: “Overdressed and Underprepared”The series kicks off in Salt Lake City, Utah, where perfectionist housewife Angie Katsanevas (yes, the Real Housewife of Salt Lake City) runs a tight, glamorous ship with husband Shawn and daughter Elektra. Angie loves structure, control, and luxury — think salon workouts and spotless floors — while Shawn just wants her to relax and spend more quality time as a family.Across the border in Chalice, Idaho, we meet Lindsey Flake, who lives completely off-grid with husband Tanner and their three kids. They grow their own food, use solar power, and have no running water. After battling rheumatoid arthritis, Lindsey chose a simpler, self-sustaining life that restored her health and happiness. She hopes to show another family the beauty of unplugging — while her husband teases that she might not want to come back once she sees the fancy life.When Angie and Lindsey swap homes, chaos (and comedy) ensues. Angie arrives in the wilderness with a hat box and Givenchy boots, instantly declaring she's “overdressed and underprepared.” Meanwhile, Lindsey steps into Angie's chic Salt Lake home, confused by heated floors, endless beauty products, and a dishwasher that needs to be “knocked on.”As they follow each other's household rules, both women are pushed far outside their comfort zones — Angie learns to haul water, bathe outdoors, and bond with kids in nature, while Lindsey experiences salon workouts, daily glam, and the demands of perfection. Their rule changes bring heartfelt lessons: Angie sends Tanner out on a real date, and Lindsey ditches the glam to teach Shawn and Elektra the value of slowing down.By the end, both women are transformed. Angie learns that simplicity brings peace — she even tears up reflecting on it — while Lindsey realizes a little luxury (and indoor plumbing) isn't so bad. When they reunite, the respect between them is genuine. Angie calls Lindsey's life “humbling,” and Lindsey admits the swap was harder than she expected but life-changing.Both families end up blending a bit of each other's worlds — Angie starts gardening and spending more family time, while Lindsey occasionally enjoys a bidet and margarita moment.TakeawaysAngie's character is endearing and relatable.Living off the grid presents unique challenges.The contrast between urban and rural lifestyles is stark.Family dynamics play a crucial role in the narrative.Health and diet are significant themes in the conversation.The hosts share personal anecdotes related to the topics discussed.Humor is a key element in their discussions.The importance of appreciating nature is highlighted.The challenges of hygiene in off-grid living are concerning.The interactions between the families are heartwarming.

Whether you're co-parenting, part of a blended family, or just trying to raise emotionally healthy kids, you need to hear this. Welcome back to Part 2 where Maria sits down with Heather Rae El Moussa (Star of Selling Sunset & The Flipping El Moussas) for a conversation about parenting with peace and love, even when it's hard. Heather opens up about what it's really like to raise a blended family in the public eye, and how she's learned to let go of ego, comparison, and judgment for the sake of her children. They both share the emotional tools that have helped them, from therapy and communication to self-awareness and grace, and how choosing peace over conflict transforms not just your family, but your own healing. PLUS, they share how to model emotional regulation for kids, create healthy boundaries, and rebuild trust after family changes or divorce. Heather dives into her lessons on compassion, forgiveness, and what it really means to lead by example! If you're navigating co-parenting, communication, or just want to bring more calm into your home, tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Peace is a choice you make every day. Heather shares how she learned to put ego aside and lead with compassion (even when co-parenting gets hard) because peace at home starts with the energy you bring into it. Your healing is your child's healing. Both Heather and Maria remind us that kids don't just hear what we say, they feel how we live. Modeling calm, communication, and emotional honesty teaches them more than words ever could. Forgiveness isn't weakness, it's wisdom. Heather opens up about learning to let go of resentment and choose understanding, proving that true strength comes from empathy, not control. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theheatherraeelmoussa/?hl=en  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heatherraeelmoussa  Heather Rae Beauty: https://www.instagram.com/heatherraeessentials/?hl=en  Website: https://heatherraeessentials.com/  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

A second update to yesterday's TALK ME OUT OF IT UPDATE!

What happens when “biblical parenting” becomes more about control than compassion? In this episode, I talk with Kelsey McGinnis and Marissa Burt, authors of The Myth of Good Christian Parenting, about the rise of evangelical parenting culture, from James Dobson and Bill Gothard to today's influencer economy, and how these ideas have shaped generations of families. Together, we explore how fear and hierarchy took root in the church's imagination, why so many parents feel trapped by formulas and shame, and what it might look like to recover freedom, grace, and mutuality in our homes. This is a conversation about rethinking authority, rediscovering gentleness, and learning to see our children as people to love, not projects to manage.Marissa Franks Burt (MTh, Columbia International University) is a novelist, editor, teacher, and cohost of the At Home with the Lectionary podcast. She lives in a small town in Washington's Snoqualmie Valley with her husband, six children, and heaps of books.Kelsey Kramer McGinnis (PhD, University of Iowa) is a musicologist, educator, and correspondent for Christianity Today, writing on worship practices and Christian subculture.

Story Transcript:No: På en frisk høstdag i Bergen, der gule blader fløy rundt i vinden, var det et yrende liv ved Fisketorget.En: On a brisk autumn day in Bergen, where yellow leaves flew around in the wind, there was bustling life at Fisketorget.No: Lukten av saltvann blandet med aromaen fra fersk sjømat lå tungt i luften.En: The scent of saltwater mixed with the aroma of fresh seafood hung heavily in the air.No: Her, midt blant boder fulle av kraftige krabber og glinsende sild, møttes to tenåringer for første gang.En: Here, amidst stalls full of robust crabs and gleaming herring, two teenagers met for the first time.No: Eirik gikk langs bodene sammen med sin far.En: Eirik walked along the stalls with his father.No: Han trakk jakken tettere rundt seg, ikke bare for å holde høstkulda ute, men også for å skjerme seg fra sine egne tanker.En: He pulled his jacket tighter around him, not only to keep out the autumn chill but also to shield himself from his own thoughts.No: Han visste at dette møtet var uunngåelig, men det rokket ved alt han var komfortabel med.En: He knew this meeting was inevitable, but it unsettled everything he was comfortable with.No: Foran ham gikk Astrid, morens nye stebarn, med et åpent smil og et nysgjerrig blikk som utforsket alt rundt dem.En: Ahead of him walked Astrid, his mother's new stepchild, with an open smile and a curious look exploring everything around them.No: "Se der, Eirik!En: "Look there, Eirik!"No: " Astrid ropte plutselig, mens hun pekte mot en bod hvor en mann holdt en stor levende krabbe i hendene.En: Astrid suddenly shouted, pointing towards a stall where a man held a large live crab in his hands.No: Eirik nølte, men hennes oppspilte glede vekket en gnist av nysgjerrighet i ham.En: Eirik hesitated, but her excited joy sparked a hint of curiosity in him.No: "Kom og se!En: "Come and see!"No: " Astrid vinket, og Eirik tok et skritt frem.En: Astrid waved, and Eirik took a step forward.No: De stod nå sammen ved boden.En: They now stood together at the stall.No: Krabben strevde ved selgerens grep, og Astrid lo da den sprutet vann.En: The crab struggled in the seller's grip, and Astrid laughed as it splashed water.No: Eirik kunne ikke la være å smile, om så bare for et øyeblikk.En: Eirik couldn't help but smile, if only for a moment.No: "Er den ikke fascinerende?En: "Isn't it fascinating?"No: " spurte Astrid med et glimt i øynene.En: Astrid asked with a twinkle in her eyes.No: Eirik nikket, litt overrasket over at han faktisk begynte å slappe av.En: Eirik nodded, a bit surprised that he was actually starting to relax.No: De beveget seg videre gjennom markedet, og Astrids entusiasme begynte å smitte over på Eirik.En: They moved on through the market, and Astrid's enthusiasm began to rub off on Eirik.No: En gateartist tiltrakk seg en mengde ved å spille trekkspill.En: A street performer attracted a crowd by playing the accordion.No: Lyden var oppløftende, og snart sto Eirik og Astrid sammen blant publikum.En: The sound was uplifting, and soon Eirik and Astrid were standing together among the audience.No: Plutselig begynte artisten å danse en morsom dans, og Astrid fniste.En: Suddenly, the performer began to dance a funny dance, and Astrid giggled.No: "Sjekk de bevegelsene!En: "Check out those moves!"No: " sa hun, og Eirik lo med henne.En: she said, and Eirik laughed with her.No: Øyeblikket fylte Eirik med en uventet varme, en lettelse fra den tunge følelsen han hadde båret med seg.En: The moment filled Eirik with unexpected warmth, a relief from the heavy feeling he had been carrying.No: Da ettermiddagen gled over til tidlig kveld, og det dempet lys dannet et gyllent skjær over markedet, vendte de to tenåringene tilbake til foreldrene sine.En: As the afternoon faded into early evening, and the dim light cast a golden hue over the market, the two teenagers returned to their parents.No: "Det var ikke så ille, ikke sant?En: "It wasn't so bad, was it?"No: " sa Astrid forsiktig.En: Astrid said cautiously.No: "Nei, det var ikke så ille," svarte Eirik med et lite smil.En: "No, it wasn't so bad," Eirik replied with a small smile.No: De delte et blikk, en forståelse, og kanskje, tenkte Eirik, var dette starten på noe nytt.En: They shared a look, an understanding, and perhaps, Eirik thought, this was the start of something new.No: Det var en enkel innsikt, men den hadde kraft.En: It was a simple insight, but it had power.No: Eirik skjønte at endringene ikke trengte å være skumle.En: Eirik realized that changes didn't have to be scary.No: Med Astrid ved sin side, virket den nye familien hans ikke lenger som en byrde, men som en mulighet for vennskap.En: With Astrid by his side, his new family no longer seemed like a burden, but an opportunity for friendship.No: De ruslet hjemover, pulsen fra markedets liv rundt dem, men nå med et fellesskap av egen.En: They strolled home, the pulse of the market's life surrounding them, but now with a sense of their own togetherness.No: Eirik hadde funnet litt av seg selv ved Fisketorget den dagen — og kanskje en venn, selv om hun kom i form av en ny stesøster.En: Eirik had found a bit of himself at Fisketorget that day—and perhaps a friend, even if she came in the form of a new stepsister.

Send us a textRHOSLC-Whitney's Psychic CircusPodcast Summary: RHOSLC S6 E5 – “The Salt Lake City Soup Man”Whitney kicks off the episode planning a “love, laughter, and wine” girls' day—complete with psychic readings and bad singing. The ladies gather at a venue Mary immediately declares cursed (“bad juju” — a murder-suicide happened there). The party's garden theme quickly clashes with everyone's chaotic fashion choices—Mary even says Meredith looks like “a walking virus.”Lisa arrives in silk pajamas clutching a manila envelope, prepared for drama. Meredith confronts her about rumors Lisa allegedly tried to spread via Angie, which sparks another round of yelling between Lisa and Angie. Mary, as usual, spectates with biting commentary and refuses the salmon tartare (“I'm not eating parasites, little salmon babies in my belly!”).Whitney's “surprise guest” psychic, Terrence Turner, gives the women a series of emotional readings—Brittany about her distant daughter, Bronwyn about her mother's health, and Lisa about her strained marriage. Meanwhile, Angie and Lisa's fight escalates into an epic insult exchange, culminating in Angie threatening to pull Lisa's ears back “further than her facelift,” and Lisa firing back with “What about Soup Man, bitch?”—leaving everyone utterly confused.The chaos continues as Angie throws a toy horse, Mary storms off, and Whitney gets a warning from the psychic to “watch out for a snake” in her friend group. By the end, Lisa cries, Whitney reflects, and no one knows who (or what) the “Soup Man” really is.WWHL: Whitney appears with Lukas Gage and reveals she lost over $500K in Wild Rose Beauty but insists she'll be fine. Andy praises her honesty this season. When asked who started the latest feud—Whitney says flatly, “Lisa.”Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Warning: this episode may contain MIND-BLOWING moments. Stephen Gross is a practising psychoanalyst and a personal hero of mine. He has worked with patients for more than 45 years and his first book, The Examined Life, drew on these experiences. When it was published in 2013, it caused a sensation and went straight to number one in the Sunday Times bestseller list. Since then, hundreds of thousands of readers, including me, have taken it to our hearts. Now 12 years on from his debut, Grosz is back with Love's Labor, which asks fundamental questions around how to love and be loved in return, drawing on his almost half a century of clinical expertise. In this episode we discuss why real love causes suffering, why failed marriages are often the best kind, the difference between surrender and submission in relationships, why loss has to be part of being human and how we can be happy. Plus: a fascinating peek into what it's like to be a psychoanalyst when I get to ask ‘are you ever annoyed by your clients?' ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 02:28 Understanding Attachment to Suffering 04:25 The Role of Denial in Our Lives 06:32 Failures and Self-Perception 07:23 Stephen's Childhood 21:46 The Power of Unconscious Signals 25:24 Navigating Change and Loss 26:25 The Anxiety of Letting Go 28:22 The Price of Love 29:23 Writing from the Heart 30:16 Support Systems 32:27 Family Dynamics and Psychoanalysis 36:51 Surrender vs. Submission 45:25 Understanding Pain and Grief 48:25 Final Thoughts and Farewell

Today's Real Sober Mom, Jennifer, is celebrating one year of sobriety! To celebrate, she is coming full circle and telling her story here on the podcast after feeling so supported by other women who have shared their stories in the same space. Alcohol found its way into Jennifer's life through her older brother, and as they became adults a culture of partying became central to her family dynamic. This family dynamic weaved its way through her relationship with alcohol, even as she navigated liver issues in her twenties and cancer in her thirties. Jennifer began to question her relationship with alcohol after she completed treatment for colon cancer. Once she realized that she was a ‘gray area drinker' she began to explore quit lit and hired a sober coach, but it took some time for sobriety to fully ‘click' for her. The Sober Mom Life community served as a major turning point for Jennifer as she realized for the first time that she wasn't alone. With a year of sobriety under her belt, Jennifer shares about how sobriety has impacted her family dynamic, and how finding new ‘tools' to cope in place of alcohol has made all the difference in her life.

In this compelling episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt confronts the often misunderstood concept of enabling in the context of addiction. With her characteristic honesty and humor, Brianne sheds light on how enabling behaviors can mask deeper emotional discomfort and perpetuate the cycle of addiction. She shares her insights from years of personal experience in recovery and her work with others, emphasizing that enabling is not an act of love but a misguided attempt to exert control over a loved one's addiction.Throughout the episode, Brianne outlines the signs of enabling, including making excuses for a loved one's behavior, prioritizing their needs over your own, and feeling anxious when unable to help. She passionately argues that true support for an addict requires setting boundaries and allowing them to face the consequences of their actions. Listeners will learn practical steps to break the cycle of enabling, such as empowering loved ones to take responsibility for themselves, reframing financial support, and prioritizing personal well-being.This episode serves as a crucial reminder that recovery is a personal journey and that sometimes the most loving thing we can do is to step back and allow our loved ones to confront their challenges head-on. Join Brianne as she navigates the complexities of enabling and offers hope for healthier relationships and personal growth.
