Stop Being Everyone’s Fixer: Protect Your Health, Family & Purpose | Dear Son Show
In this episode of The Dear Son Show, hosts D Johns and Jey Blac open up about feeling spread too thin, frustration from a lack of reciprocity, and how being dependable can lead others to exploit your time and energy. They discuss setting firm boundaries, prioritizing health, family, and the platform, and learning to be “selfish” for self-preservation without becoming a selfish person. D. Johns shares lessons from his corporate past about overextending, how unaddressed stress can spill into other relationships, and why communicating needs matters before resentment builds. The conversation also touches on letting people fall off if they don’t fit your priorities, and the value of trusted friends who genuinely ask how you’re doing.
