You think you’re being kind. Helpful. Supportive. And yet... what if the very words you’re using are keeping people stuck - and keeping you exhausted?

In this episode, we’re digging into the difference between helping and supporting - and why using the one versus the other can quietly drain your energy, fuel resentment, and enable people you care about to play small.

Giorgia shares a story that completely rewired how she shows up in relationships, and Dawn breaks down how this one shift in language can change how you lead, partner, and coach - without burning out or taking on what isn’t yours.

This one’s a wake-up call. Let’s go.
