Candace Cameron Bure

Why You're Absorbing Everyone's Emotions and Running on Empty

Have you ever been so ready to fix something that you forgot to ask if fixing was even what was needed? In this final episode of the six-part series with therapist and communication coach Jason VanRuler, Candace and Jason shift from how we disconnect to how we reconnect. What does the on-ramp actually look like? It starts with willingness, with curiosity, and with giving the people we love room to grow at their own speed. Listener questions take center stage here: A wife who has been worn down by a husband who seems chronically disappointed. A person who absorbs everyone's moods and can't shake them. A newly married woman asking what no one told her going in. This one brings the series home with tools you can use today, and a reminder that the relationships worth having are worth the long game.
