Are you helping… or are you enabling? It’s not always easy to tell the difference, especially in our closest relationships. In this episode of The Friendship Tour, we’re closing out the 3-part Strong Friend series with a conversation that gets right to the heart of support, accountability, boundaries, and the weight of “superwoman” expectations.
My guest, Latasha Kennedy (founder of Girlfriends Thriving), joins me to discuss the tension strong friends face when their care crosses into enabling—and how we can recognize the signs in ourselves and in others. Together, we talk about:
✨ The difference between helping and enabling (and why intent isn’t the same as impact) ✨ The roles accountability and boundaries play in helping without enabling ✨ Why strong women must learn to let others in, embracing humanity instead of superhero status ✨ How to support the strong friends in your life with practical questions, real listening, and intentional presence
If you’ve ever been the “go-to” friend who feels the weight of everyone else’s needs—or if you love someone who carries that weight—you won’t want to miss this conversation.
