Always stepping in to help—even when no one asked? This short episode offers a powerful reality check for empathic overdoers. When helping becomes a habit, not a conversation, it often creates resentment, miscommunication, and emotional burnout. Rebecca shares real-life examples of how unsolicited help can backfire—and why asking first is a game-changing shift. Tune in to learn the therapy-informed hack that protects your energy and strengthens your relationships.

Rebecca Hunter, MSW helps empathic high-achievers (like you) learn practical skills to quiet your racing mind, overcome self-doubt, and actually be present in your life.
