Supporting Your Partner Without Losing Yourself: Tips from Rachel and David Godfrey

You can never influence anybody whilst you're judging them... the way to look at it is that we love him anyway, we have a loving energy with how we deliver it and but we impose the boundaries.
Ever feel like you're giving so much to your partner that you're losing a bit of yourself? In this episode of 'The Chase Life Podcast', Rachel and David Godfrey tackle the tricky terrain of being a supportive partner without feeling drained. They share their wisdom on how to help your partner through tough times without falling into the trap of trying to 'fix' everything. Instead, they emphasize the importance of setting healthy boundaries and prioritizing your own needs.
The episode dives into what effective communication really looks like and when the best time is to have those boundary-setting conversations (hint: not in the heat of the moment!). Rachel and David also discuss how to avoid coming across as judgmental and what a win-win outcome in a relationship entails. If you find yourself being the more emotionally mature one in the relationship, they’ve got tips for that too.
Packed with practical tools and strategies, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of relationships, whether you're dealing with mom guilt, supporting a partner through a major life issue, or encouraging your other half to step up their game. Tune in for a mix of empathy, real talk, and actionable advice to help you maintain your individuality while being there for your partner.
