Are you secretly carrying the emotional weight of everyone around you—while silently falling apart inside?

High-achieving women are often the strong ones, the fixers, the glue that holds it all together. But beneath that strength is a hidden burden: the crushing pressure to manage everyone’s moods, needs, and potential breakdowns. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on hyper-responsibility—why it happens, how it hijacks your peace, and the subtle ways it’s stealing your energy and joy. If you’ve ever felt like the world would fall apart if you stopped holding it up, this is your wake-up call… and your permission slip to let go.

Ever feel like you're constantly trying to fix things for your anxious kid, but nothing seems to help? You're not alone. Today I'm joined by therapist Bryce Hamilton who shares why our natural parenting instincts might actually be making anxiety worse - and what to do instead.

✅ Why "good parenting" can accidentally feed anxiety (and what to do instead) ✅ The magic questions that empower your kid instead of creating dependence ✅ How to handle sibling conflict without becoming the referee ✅ Supporting kids through divorce (and the mistakes that make it harder) ✅ Why kids with OCD need you to step back (not swoop in) ✅ The one thing every parent needs to hear about struggle and resilience

"I've never met a bad parent" - We all want to do our best, but sometimes our help becomes a hindrance.

Stop jumping to problem-solving - Ask "How can I support you?" instead of "Here's what you should do."

Kids push against solutions they didn't ask for - Even 2-year-olds resist when we solve problems for them.

Struggle builds resilience - If kids never face hard things, they never learn they can handle them.

"We often expect our kids to apologize when they've done something wrong, but then we're not willing to do that as a parent."

"You can't control that other parent even when you are married. You can't control anybody else."

"We need them to struggle because otherwise how do they learn to be resilient?"

• Accidental Experts Podcast with Bryce Hamilton
• Find Bryce on Facebook, YouTube, and all podcast platforms

If your child struggles with OCD or severe anxiety, remember:

• Validate their feelings without feeding the compulsions
• Empower them to handle uncertainty
• Don't swoop in too quickly - let them build confidence
• Get specialized help when regular parenting strategies aren't enough

In this firestarter episode, I reveal the shocking truth about over-apologizing and how it’s secretly wrecking your career, relationships, and self-worth. 💥 🎯 What you’ll discover:

• The jaw-dropping research proving over-apologizing makes people trust you less
