We’ve all been there—replaying conversations, worrying about the future, spiraling in a loop of mental noise. But is that really helping you—or just stressing you out?

- The neuroscience of why we overthink—and how to stop it in 63 seconds
- How to spot when you’ve crossed the line from reflecting to ruminating
- 3 simple ways to shift from anxious thinking to deliberate, deep thinking

Empowering Vs. Enabling Toxic Behavior
The Dr. Leaf Show
08/15/24 • 40 min
SHOW DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I discuss the difference between enabling and empowering someone. Simply put, enabling is doing something challenging for someone else, while empowering someone means helping and supporting them as they complete the challenging task. Think of those school projects you did as a child; enabling is your mom doing the whole project for you, while empowering is your mom helping you do your own school project.
