What if the way you’re trying to help someone is actually making things worse? Many of us unknowingly enable abuse—whether in relationships, friendships, or even at work. In today’s episode, we pull back the curtain on the hidden ways abuse continues, why people stay in harmful cycles, and how well-meaning support can sometimes do more harm than good. We share real-life stories, the four stages of abuse, and the tough but necessary steps to set boundaries. If you’ve ever felt powerless watching someone you care about make destructive choices, this conversation will give you the clarity and tools to take action.
