When Helping Becomes Rescuing

When your adult child is hurting, everything in you wants to step in.

Fix it. Solve it. Make the pain go away.

But what if the most loving thing you can do is… not rescue them?

On this episode of The Parent Pivot Podcast, Steve and Julia get very real about what we’ve been walking through with our own adult kids—and the emotional tightrope of knowing when to step in and when to step back.

How do you support them without taking over?

How do you listen without fixing?

And how do you trust that they can figure this out?
