“If I just love them enough… maybe they’ll change.”
Sound familiar? If you’ve ever stayed in a relationship hoping your care, patience, or prayers would eventually “fix” them — you’re not alone. But today we’re unpacking the emotional and spiritual cost of The Fixer Trap.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
-
The hidden reasons women stay in unhealthy relationships
-
Why trying to rescue someone can actually delay your own healing
-
How fear, faith, and false hope keep us stuck in fixer mode
-
A journaling prompt to help you reflect on your own patterns with love, loyalty, and letting go
PLUS: I’ll share a real moment from my own story — and a reminder that you’re not broken just because you couldn’t “save” someone.
