Episode 118 | Carrying the Weight: Friendships and Mental Health

In this episode, we explore the delicate balance of supporting a friend through their mental health journey while also protecting your own well-being. What does it really mean to carry the weight of a friend’s struggles, and how can we navigate the fine line between offering help and maintaining healthy boundaries? We discuss practical ways to be there for your friend—whether through prayer, active listening, or guiding them toward professional help when necessary. Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to be a “safe space” rather than attempting to be a “saviour,” and why that distinction is key to sustaining both your relationship and your own mental health. Tune into our conversation on how to walk alongside those who are struggling, with love, wisdom, and care.
