ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Helping someone you care about feels like the right thing to do. You step in, fix the mistake, give them another chance, lend the money, or protect them from the consequences.
But what if your help is actually making things worse?
In this episode of Zero Distortion, we look at the difficult line between helping and enabling—and why repeatedly solving someone else's problems can sometimes take away the very thing they need to change.
Supporting someone doesn't mean carrying them. And caring about someone doesn't mean taking responsibility for choices that aren't yours.
Because you can help someone get back on their feet.
But you can't want their life to improve more than they do.

Often, it isn't because the risk is too great - it's because the fear feels greater than the reality.

Have you ever been absolutely convinced you were right... only to discover you were completely wrong?
Our brains are incredible, but they're far from perfect. We make assumptions, jump to conclusions, remember events incorrectly, and often mistake feelings for facts. Sometimes the biggest obstacle…
What if being a perfectionist isn't actually helping you succeed - it's keeping you from starting?
We tell ourselves we need more time. More research. A better plan. The right opportunity. We convince ourselves we're just trying to get everything right.
