SHOW DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I discuss the difference between enabling and empowering someone. Simply put, enabling is doing something challenging for someone else, while empowering someone means helping and supporting them as they complete the challenging task. Think of those school projects you did as a child; enabling is your mom doing the whole project for you, while empowering is your mom helping you do your own school project.Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:-ZOCDOC: Stop putting off those doctors’ appointments and go to Zocdoc.com/LEAF to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.-PURITY WOODS: Purity Woods is currently offering 17% off sitewide but we have an additional 10% discount for our listeners for a total savings of 27%!
