As parents, we want to raise strong, resilient kids—but sometimes, without realizing it, we lean on them in ways that can be damaging. In this episode, we’re tackling the tough but crucial topic of parentification, enmeshment, and emotional incest—when kids are put in roles they were never meant to fill.

We break down:

  • How to recognize if you're unintentionally placing emotional burdens on your child
  • What’s healthy honesty with kids vs. oversharing your adult problems
  • The long-term impact of making kids responsible for adult emotions
  • How to foster emotional security without making them your therapist or support system

We discuss our own experience growing up in this dynamic, and we discuss practical ways to break the cycle—because once you see it, you can change it. This isn't about shame; it's about building awareness and making sure our kids get to be kids.

If you’ve ever wondered, Am I putting too much on my child?—this episode is for you.
