S2 E24: When They Don’t Want Help: Navigating the Heartbreak of Watching People Suffer
You’re a wellness practitioner because you care. You see things others don’t. You want to help.
But what do you do when they don’t want the help you’re offering?
In this vulnerable episode, I’m sharing a very real conversation from my own life – including what happened with my parents, how I navigated the pain of watching them reject the help they asked for, and why this moment cracked something open in me.
This one’s personal. But I know I’m not alone.
Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why it hurts so much when patients or loved ones reject your help
- 6 reasons people reject your help (even when they’re drowning)
- How to offer support without attachment to the outcome
- What it looks like to love people where they are
- Why boundaries, grief, and compassion matter more than ever
You’re not a bad practitioner because they didn’t listen to what you had to say.
You’re a good one – because you noticed, and you tried to help.
This episode is your reminder to keep showing up, keep offering, and keep doing the beautiful work you’re here to do… even when the people you care about aren’t ready to hear.
