Have you ever found yourself wanting to jump in and fix things for the people around you? It feels natural, right? But is it actually helping, or are you getting stuck in the “rescuer” role?

In this week’s episode, Alex and Carol dive into a topic that might just change the way you lead — whether at work, at home, or anywhere else. We explore the fine line between supporting and rescuing — and why stepping back could be the key to unlocking someone else’s growth (and your own sanity!). From tales of tech glitches in workshops to parenting lessons learned the hard way, this episode is full of real-life examples that highlight the beauty of letting others fail forward.

You’ll also hear some inspiring stories about how patience and faith in others can lead to bigger, better outcomes. And remember — whether you’re a leader, a parent, or a partner — giving people the space to grow is one of the most empowering forms of support.

Tune in and discover:

  • The difference between healthy support and the trap of rescuing.
  • Why letting others experience failure is crucial for growth.
  • How to foster resilience in yourself and others by leaning into discomfort.
  • And of course, some powerful mindset shifts to boost your own leadership game.

Are you guilty of rescuing those around you? What would it look like to pause and let them figure it out for themselves? What might you learn in the process?

Don’t forget to subscribe and share your thoughts—how are you redefining support in your leadership journey?

See you next week! 💥
