Pain, sickness, divorce, heartache, scraped knees. All of them hurt. And I often can't make them go away. When I can't, it feels really heavy... like I'm carrying the weight myself. I feel their pain. It's weird, but we all do it. Yet, my brain knows it doesn't make sense for BOTH of us to suffer. So, why is it so hard to let it go? I've asked myself this question A LOT the last few weeks. It seems like the people I love are going through really, really hard things right now. I want so badly to make it better...but I can't. In this episode, I share some insights that helped me learn how to lighten the load so that I'm actually in a better place to help. I'll still care deeply, I'll still help however I can...but I can't really help when I'm so worried and stressed that I'm crushed by the weight myself.

Pain, sickness, divorce, heartache, scraped knees.

All of them hurt.

like I'm carrying the weight myself.

I feel their pain.

It's weird, but we all do it.

Yet, my brain knows it doesn't make sense for BOTH of us to suffer.

So, why is it so hard to let it go?

I've asked myself this question A LOT the last few weeks.

It seems like the people I love are going through really, really hard things right now.

I want so badly to make it better...but I can't.

In this episode, I share some insights that helped me learn how to lighten the load so that I'm actually in a better place to help.

I'll still care deeply, I'll still help however I can...but I can't really help when I'm so worried and stressed that I'm crushed by the weight myself.

The story of Alma and Amulek has some powerful tips to help us love and lift...without falling down, too.
