  • Feeling Like You’re Always Helping? Signs of Emotional Burnout in Relationships
    Jul 1 2025

    Feeling Like You’re Always Helping? Signs of Emotional Burnout in Relationships

    In this episode of the Self Development Collective, we’re diving deep into a type of emotional burnout we don’t talk about enough—the kind that happens when we’re supporting others.

    This isn’t about work stress or parenting exhaustion. This is about those of us who take on the role of the helper. The fixer. The person who tries to hold everything—and everyone—together. And the emotional tiredness that comes with that.

    I share a recent moment in therapy that completely shifted how I understood my emotional exhaustion. This episode talks about the signs of emotional burnout when the challenges we're supporting aren't our own but those of others.

    So if you’re asking yourself, “Why do I feel so tired when nothing’s really happening to me?”—this episode is for you.

    We’ll explore:

    • What emotional burnout can look like when we’re constantly helping others

    • Why being the “emotional support person” can be draining

    • How emotional tiredness often shows up as anger, resentment, or numbness

    • Why childhood roles may wire us into over-helping

    • What it actually means to set boundaries as a helper

    Whether you’re the go-to in your family, your friendships, or just always feel responsible for others—this is a gentle, honest reflection on the emotional exhaustion that can come with that role.

  • Making Decisions In Life (How Invisible Family Rules Shape Our Life Decisions)
    Jun 17 2025

    Making Decisions In Life (How Invisible Family Rules Shape Our Life Decisions)

    Have you ever found yourself stuck, unsure why you're making the decisions you're making — or why it feels so hard to make any at all?

    In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story about one of those moments. A time when I was deep in the decision-making process and realised I was pushing myself down a path that didn’t actually feel like mine. Through conversations in therapy and reflecting on my experience, I started to uncover something deeper — the invisible rules and generational expectations that had quietly shaped how I made decisions my whole life.

    We talk about:

    • The invisible family rules that shape our decision making

    • How legacy burdens can show up in our personal growth journey

    • The emotional toll of trying to live up to inherited expectations

    • How to begin making decisions that reflect who you are now — not who others expected you to be

    This episode is for anyone who’s ever asked themselves, “Why does this feel so hard?” or “Is this really my choice?”

    It’s not just about how to make decisions — it’s about how to make them with clarity, compassion, and connection to yourself. Whether you're exploring personal development, mental health, or just learning how to stop overthinking every life choice — this one's for you.

    As always, take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and be kind to yourself in the process.

    Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro & personal story 03:00 – The emotional cycle of decision fatigue 10:45 – What are invisible family rules? 14:30 – Legacy burdens & how they show up 20:00 – Making choices that reflect your life now 29:00 – Final thoughts and gentle reminders

  • Leaving A Narcissistic Relationship // Leaving A Narcissistic Parent Relationship
    Jun 3 2025

    Leaving A Narcissistic Relationship // Leaving A Narcissistic Parent Relationship

    This episode was sparked by a YouTube listener’s question on how to leave a narcissistic relationship. In this episode, I chat about my experience in a narcissistic parent relationship and the first steps that helped me to see out of it.

    Because these relationships aren’t just painful — they’re confusing. They mess with your sense of self. You don’t realise how far you’ve lost your voice until you start getting it back.

    In this episode, I share:

    • Why narcissistic relationships feel so impossible to leave (especially with a parent)

    • A personal story from one of the hardest times in my life, when my brother was sick — and how my dad’s response made things really clear

    • The shame and emotional manipulation I experienced, and how it left me questioning everything

    • Why therapy was the turning point for me — and what it was like to finally hear someone say, “It’s not you.”

    • What self-trust actually looked like in this journey (and why I couldn't do it alone at first)

    If you’re in a relationship where you constantly question yourself… where it’s always about them… where you can never do enough — I just want to say: you’re not crazy. You’re not dramatic. And you’re not alone.

    This isn’t about blame. It’s about finding peace, setting boundaries, and giving ourselves the permission to choose our mental health — even when that means making painful decisions.
