Releasing the Burden: Anxiety and the Myth of Making Others Happy

I think part of that is that we could change our own. But I guess there are times, others, you may have to adjust some of the relationships in your life because you could change what you do.
Ever feel like you're carrying the weight of everyone's happiness on your shoulders? You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Anxious Truth' podcast, host Drew Linsalata teams up with Monique Koven to tackle a common anxiety trap: the belief that you're responsible for making others happy. They dive into why so many of us grow up feeling this way and how it can seriously mess with our mental health.
Monique shares her own story, offering a relatable perspective that will make you nod along in agreement. They talk about the roots of this mindset, often planted in childhood, and how it can stunt your growth and happiness as an adult. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom. Drew and Monique also discuss practical steps to break free from this cycle.
From building self-worth to understanding that you can't control other people's emotions, they provide actionable advice that can help you reclaim your life. Whether you're struggling with anxiety yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a comforting reminder: you're not responsible for everyone's happiness. So, if you're ready to lighten your emotional load, tune in and start your journey towards a healthier mindset.
