Show Notes:
Enabling behaviors often stem from a desire to help loved ones but can unintentionally foster dependency, resentment, and strained relationships within families. In this episode, we explore how enabling impacts mental health, personal growth, and family dynamics while offering actionable strategies to shift from enabling to empowering. By setting boundaries and teaching self-reliance, parents can create healthier connections and promote life fulfillment for themselves and their loved ones.
Enjoy!

- Dr. David Erickson: "Controlling our children is never the real goal. Teaching our children self-control is the goal".
- Lynn Lott and Jane Nelson: "Turning control over to young people as soon as possible so they have power over their own lives".
