We often wear our overburdened schedules as a badge of honor, succumbing to the “serial fixer” trap where we feel responsible for everyone’s happiness and success. Today, psychotherapist and author Leah Marone joins us to discuss how to shift from solving everyone’s problems to providing authentic support. Discover how to set boundaries that empower others, reclaim your own time, and move past the exhaustion of carrying the world on your shoulders!

Key takeaways to listen for

• Difference between supporting and solving, and why rescuing others creates micro-codependencies

• How to use “I statements” to set clear boundaries without creating defensiveness or anxiety in your relationships

• The power of validation as a primary communication tool before jumping into “fix-it” mode

• Strategies for leaders and parents to foster resilience and problem-solving skills in those they lead

• What it looks like to turn your inner critic from a draining bully into a wise, protective ally
