I am so pleased to welcome BACK my friend and former client, Alina Prax! This week, we’re unpacking a concept we encountered called “Toxic Empathy” – which is basically empathy without boundaries, or compassion without empowerment.
Examining the myriad ways that this pattern can show up in various dynamics – from adult children interacting with parents, and parents dealing with adult children, to dysfunctional friendships, and unhealthy partnerships – we discuss the Rescuer archetype, the unconscious habits of People-Pleasers, and more empowering alternatives.
While the insights we share here can be notably illuminating on your journey, don’t neglect the importance of integration & implementation in creating real shifts in your life – and the value of outside support. Don’t wait for the mayhem of the holidays to spur you into action, though – take steps NOW to start laying a healthy foundation of loving boundaries that will nourish yourself as well as your relationships.

And definitely be sure to SUBSCRIBE to this podcast, so you can continue receiving all this love and encouragement – and please help me spread the love by sharing it with others!
Wherever you’re at on your journey – I send you love and courage.
