The Trusted Guide Podcast with Mark Slatin · 2025-10-30 · 28 min
Are you unknowingly sabotaging your own well-being at work - and at home - by trying to fix everyone else's problems? So many of us find purpose and validation in helping, supporting, and "solving" for others. But what happens when that good intention tips into burnout, resentment, and codependent relationships? In this episode, I dig into the hidden costs of being a "serial fixer" with my guest Leah Marone, whose new book offers a powerful wakeup call for leaders, parents, and anyone in a people-focused role. Leah shines a light on why constant fixing and over-helping backfire, both for us and for the people we care about, and how learning to "support, don't solve" can transform workplaces and families. If you work in customer service, HR, management, education - or if you just find yourself constantly taking on the world's problems - you need to hear Leah's insights.
