In this solocast I talk about how being a fixer can be detrimental in some relationship dynamics. The idea of "stop being a fixer" in relationships refers to avoiding the role of trying to change, rescue, or "fix" your partner's behaviors, emotions, or life circumstances. The mindset often stems from a well-meaning desire to help but can lead to unhealthy dynamics.

So, what's the toughest thing you've held back from asking?
