 Do you find yourself constantly fixing things for others? Always the hero swooping in to catch people when they fall? While well-intentioned, this “airbag” role can backfire — both for you and those you’re trying to protect. This episode digs into why you can’t save everyone and how to set healthy boundaries while still being a supportive presence in others’ lives. In this episode, I’ll talk about: The connection between people-pleasing and a need to feel safe and needed. What “fawning” is and how it can be harmful. Why trying to shield people from challenges robs them of growth. The difference between genuine support and enabling. How to prioritize your own well-being without feeling guilty. Ready to break free from the people-pleasing trap and ditch the airbag role? Tune in to this month’s episode of Moments of Authenticity for insightful tips and an honest discussion on establishing healthier relationships. Timestamps [00:05] The challenges of always being the “airbag” for others, especially from the perspective of a people-pleaser. [00:56] Discusses the intention to protect others from negative experiences but acknowledges that we can’t remove someone’s agency or opportunities to learn. [02:22] The distinction between helping someone with a need versus preventing them from taking responsibility for their own life and growth. [03:52] Examining your own desire to be needed or a hero, and whether the focus should actually be on the other person. [05:19] Accept that not everyone has good intentions and that sometimes people take advantage of your willingness to help. [06:21] The toll of overextending yourself for others. You must care for yourself first to meaningfully help anyone else. [07:32] Supporting others who truly cannot help themselves versus those who simply choose not to. [08:51] Are you the only option? Questioning why you’re always the go-to savior. Allowing others to learn and solve problems creates growth. Notable Quotes “You can’t be everyone’s airbag.” “I think that we can be mindful, and we can share, but trying to protect folks from their own experiences is not always the most beneficial thing because there’s sometimes the idea of us taking away their choice in their agency.” “You can’t save everyone from their circumstances or their karma, like life be life. And sometimes, it’s this idea that folks have to go through what they’re going to go through. And that just is what it is.” “Folks are so eager to step in the line of fire and then end up being the person getting burned. And I want to say that you may have the best of intentions in doing so. Right? You may have a heart of gold, you may have all the well-meaning. But it’s important to explore if you’re doing so from the perspective of overcompensating for something or because that person won’t or can’t.” “Is it about them? Or is it about you and your desire to be needed by others?” “Everybody doesn’t have the best of intentions when they’re asking you for something.” “I think that you have to put your mask on first.” “If you do if you overextend, who’s going to put you back together?” “I’m not talking about children, I’m also not talking about those who can’t – physically, mentally, emotionally – cannot do for themselves. I’m not talking about those folks. I’m talking about those who are actually capable. And making sure that that distinction is clear to my hope in saying this is not to be harsh, but it is to call you in on this idea of trying to overcompensate for something you feel like you’re lacking.” “So, you are going to show up, show out and be a savior to someone else. And my question is: If it’s not you, why can’t it be them? Why can’t we allow folks to figure out what it is that works or doesn’t work for them without being the person who’s “the soft place to land”?” Music by: Noir Et Blanc Vie Moments of AuthenticityEmail: amber@amberboydtherapy.com | Instagram | Facebook | Website | Youtube | Spotify | Apple
