Your Self-Care Is Making You Weak: Therapist Drops Hard Truths | RaQuel Hopkins | Ep 1272

Allie and licensed therapist RaQuel Hopkins dismantle today’s feel-good therapy culture. “Protect your peace” has produced fragile adults—RaQuel calls for optimization, not coddling. Tough love builds capacity; toxic empathy breeds victims. Reject self-obsession, embrace personal responsibility. Tune in for biblical clarity on emotions, resilience, and why your pain isn’t special—but God’s grace is.
