When You Carry What Isn’t Yours

Episode 121

Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling responsible for someone else's mood? Like it's your job to fix their disappointment, even when you did nothing wrong? I’ve been there too. In this episode, I’m unpacking the emotional weight we carry when we confuse empathy with responsibility, and how that pattern quietly disconnects us from ourselves.

I’ll walk you through how this shows up in everyday life, what it’s actually rooted in, and what healing can look like when you stop carrying what was never yours to begin with.

In This Episode, I Cover:

  • How codependency can hide inside empathy and over-functioning
  • Why your nervous system may be confusing discomfort with danger
  • What it feels like to set down emotional weight that doesn’t belong to you
