Are you exhausted from always trying to save the day, fix every problem, and be everything to everyone? In this episode, I’m joined by Lydia Turner—Certified Life Coach, Trauma-Informed Leader, and Community Activist—to explore the concept of saviorism and what we affectionately call Captain SAVE A Hoe Syndrome. This mindset, where your worth feels tied to rescuing others, leaves us drained, disconnected, and far from our authentic selves.

Together, we’ll unpack the lessons from Day 2 of my book, With You in Mind: Releasing Saviorism, diving deep into why so many of us take on the role of "rescuer." Lydia brings her expertise in trauma-informed practices to illuminate how this syndrome often stems from unresolved wounds, a need for control, or a desire to feel valued.

In this heartfelt and empowering conversation, we’ll challenge the narrative that you must fix others to be worthy and embrace a new truth: saving yourself is the most powerful act of love. With practical strategies and Lydia’s expert guidance, you’ll learn how to step out of the rescuer role and step into a life where your worth isn’t tied to how much you give, but to how fully you can simply be.

Key Takeaways:

  • Insights from Lydia Turner on how Captain SAVE A Hoe Syndrome impacts your emotional and spiritual well-being.
  • What saviorism is and how it shows up in our lives.
  • How letting go of the "fixer" role can create space for self-healing and growth.
  • Simple steps to release the need to save others and reconnect with your purpose.

It’s time to take off the cape, let go of the need to save everyone else, and focus on saving yourself. You deserve to be whole, rested, and free.
