Eps 120 - Should We Help—or Just Let People Be? | When Helping Hurts

Welcome back to another episode of The Re-Mind Podcast with Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton. This week, Ash and Dave dive deep into the complicated territory of “helping”—and ask, when does support cross the line into imposing, colonizing, or even hurting?

Through honest stories, cultural metaphors, and personal reflection, they explore:

• The difference between holding space and pushing your own agenda

• Why some people don’t want (or can’t yet want) what you wish for them

• How our well-intended solutions might miss the mark—or even do harm

• The crucial role of timing, identity, and autonomy in real change

• Navigating relationships, business, and healing without outsourcing your vision or overriding someone else’s

• How to be present and supportive without attaching to the outcome

Ash and Dave invite you to reflect on your own habits: Are you offering help to truly support, or to fulfill something in yourself? Are you letting others’ visions for your life override your own inner truth?

Reflection prompts:

• When have you offered help that wasn’t received—or didn’t land as you hoped?

• Are you clear on what you want for yourself (and why)?

• Where in your life might you be following someone else’s vision instead of your own?
