Show Notes:
Karen Tavares Bates moved her family of ten to Mexico to build a home for abandoned teens, but quickly discovered that endless empathy without healthy boundaries was destroying her mental health and ability to parent effectively. In part 2 of this powerful two-part conversation, she further shares how recognizing toxic empathy patterns, learning assertiveness, and releasing shame transformed her approach to family life and purposeful living. Further discover how to model wholeness for your children, let go of approval-seeking behaviors, and build a life driven by authentic purpose instead of external pressure.
Enjoy!
