Bonus Clip | I Love You, But I Love Me More

About this episode

Adam Wilson discusses the challenges of helping others while maintaining personal boundaries and emotional health.

Helping is human…but learning how to help without losing yourself is healing. In this bonus clip, Adam Wilson opens up about why helping others has become both his instinct and his biggest boundary challenge. From Costco moments to vulnerable conversations with his son, Adam shares how presence — not presents — is what children and loved ones truly need. We also talk about breaking generational parenting patterns, modeling emotional regulation, and the hard but necessary work of setting boundaries with our own parents. A thoughtful, honest look at what it really means to grow, give, and protect your peace. 📚 Guest Info · IG/Tiktok: @Theadamwilson_ · Facebook: Adam J Wilson Let’s Stay Connected 🎧 Subscribe to the show! 📬Subscribe to The Joyful Rebellion Newsletter 📸 Instagram: @workisthirdlife
