Ep. 194 | [FAVORITE] When Compassion Becomes Too Costly

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

One of my closest friends has the biggest heart I have ever encountered. And it was hurting her.  She'd done the healing work after a painful relationship, brought her ex back into her life, and found herself carrying their fears and health concerns as her own. So I asked her something simple: "Of course you can handle this. But do you need to?"  This episode is about why your heart doesn't always know the difference between caring about someone and being responsible for them, and why sometimes the most loving thing you can do is release what was never yours to carry.  Question to carry into your day: What are you carrying that isn't yours to carry, and what would it look like to release it and trust that the other person can handle their own journey?  Ready to do this work with real support?
