Episode 2796:
Elana Miller offers a deeply honest reflection on the emotional toll of living with illness and how others' reactions, often well-meaning but boundaryless, can objectify and exhaust rather than support. Through her experiences, she explores the importance of discernment, self-awareness, and protecting one's limited emotional energy, reminding us that true compassion is marked by respect, not intrusion.
