    They Teach It, But Don’t Live It: Why Powerful Content Doesn’t Always Reflect Strong Character

    You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between the Knowledge World (where people just know it) and the Wisdom World (where people live what they know), and how to engage with insight even when the messenger has flaws.

    Because in the end, growth isn’t about how they live the truth. It’s about what you choose to do with it.

    When Love Isn't Enough: Learning to Love Without Losing Yourself
    2025/06/04
    🎙 Episode 1: When Love Isn’t Enough: Learning to Love Without Losing Yourself

    Love is powerful, but it can’t fix addiction.
    It can’t undo someone’s unhealed trauma.
    It can’t change people who don’t want to change.

    In Episode 1 of The Authentic Space with Kyana, we will talk about the heartbreak of loving someone who stays stuck, despite all your effort. Kyana shares her own experience with trying to “help” beyond her capacity and how she learned the painful truth: love needs boundaries, not burnout.

    This episode also offers honest insight on how to:
    • Set boundaries without guilt
    • Allow adults to experience the consequences of their choices
    • Grieve the loss of the relationship you hoped for
    • Stay grounded in your truth while still loving deeply
    🧠 Quick Definitions from the Episode:
    • Enabling: Doing things for someone that protect them from the natural consequences of their actions, often keeping unhealthy patterns alive.
    • Codependency: An emotional reliance on another person where your well-being is based on managing or fixing them.
    • Savior Complex: The need to “rescue” others, often at your own expense, in order to feel valuable or needed.
    • Burnout: Emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by chronic stress, especially when you're carrying weight that’s not yours.
    • Change Agent: Someone who influences growth or transformation in others by modeling change, not forcing it.
    💡 If you’re loving someone who’s hurting themselves, this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed. Tune in and let’s grow through it, together.
