Why the “Safe” One Gets Cut Off — And How to Set Boundaries Without Guilt
Tue Jan 27 2026
In this episode of Pardon Our Honesty, Tiffany and Megan respond to a listener message that opens the door to a hard truth:
Why are the people who show up the most —the helpers, fixers, and “safe” ones —often the first to be cut off, left out, or taken for granted?
We talk honestly about:
Why being “safe” makes you easy to walk away from
How family and friends take advantage of unspoken access
Setting boundaries without guilt or resentment
Parenting adult children without enabling them
When mental health is real — and when it becomes an excuse
Why struggle is necessary for growth, confidence, and independence
How mindfulness and inner peace help you break the cycle
This episode is for anyone who’s tired of being the emotional safety net while their own needs go unmet.
If you’ve ever thought:“Why am I always the one giving?”“Why do they disappear until they need something?”
You’re not alone — and this conversation is for you.
