🎧 PART 1 - SUPPORT | The Wrong Words Podcast

Support. Is it help, a crutch, a partnership, or a quiet surrender? Oliver and Luon dig into a loaded word people use every day in relationships and life. In this episode, they question whether asking for support signals the death of personal agency, a strategic request for help, or something else entirely. Expect sharp examples, the table versus book analogy, and a clear split between emotional and structural support.

🧠 In this episode, we explore:

• What people really mean when they say support versus what they actually want

• The “death or surrender” idea versus support as a partnership or strategic help

• Structural support (beams, tables) versus human support (encouragement, participation)

• How language shapes enabling, accountability, and honest requests in relationships

📚 We unpack:

• Real examples from couples and coaches about misplaced expectations

• The subtle difference between asking for support and offloading responsibility

• Why saying exactly what you want changes everything: help, participation, or validation

💥 Key moments include:

• The table and book analogy: when support holds weight versus when it participates

• The coach’s lens: “I am here to help” versus “I am here to support” and why that matters

• How support can become comfort that prevents growth, and when it rightly becomes collaboration

🛠️ You’ll walk away with:

• A short checklist to use next time someone asks for support: is it help, partnership, or offload?

• Language to request or offer support clearly and without resentment

• Practical prompts to avoid enabling and to invite real participation and accountability
