Episode 20: When Helping is Just Projection

Sometimes you’re not helping—you’re healing out loud with a captive audience. In this episode, we get honest about “projected helping”: when your advice, concern, or “support” is really just you projecting your own unhealed mess onto someone else’s life. From unsolicited TED Talks to emotional micromanaging, we unpack how to recognize when your “help” isn’t really about them—it’s about you. And most importantly, we talk about how to stop fixing others as a way to avoid fixing yourself. If you’ve ever caught yourself giving a monologue no one asked for, this one’s for you.
