Ever notice how certain people just... drain you?
The ones who always have a crisis. Always need rescuing. Always have someone else to blame for their problems.
And somehow, you keep attracting them.
Into your business. Your relationships. Even your family dynamics.
In this raw and revealing episode, transformation expert Patricia Lindner gets brutally honest about the victim trap - and why so many of us get caught in it without even realizing it.
Patricia shares her own journey from being the "rescuer" who attracted energy vampires... to finally breaking the pattern that was keeping her stuck and exhausted.
But here's what makes this conversation so powerful...
She doesn't just talk about the obvious victims (the ones who blame everyone else for their problems).
She dives into the hidden side of victimhood that most people never see coming.
The part where YOU become addicted to saving people who don't actually want to be saved.
Jason Croft brings his signature insight to help unpack why this pattern is so seductive... and why breaking it requires more courage than most people realize.
What You'll Discover:
→ The subtle signs you're stuck in victim mode (even if you'd never call yourself a victim)
→ Why some people become energetically addicted to complaining and chaos
→ Patricia's "no more wood for the fire" approach that changed everything
→ How to spot the difference between someone ready for transformation vs. someone feeding off drama
→ The hidden magnificence that gets buried under victim patterns
→ Why changing your internal pattern literally shifts the people around you (this part is wild)
This isn't about judging anyone or pointing fingers.
It's about recognizing these patterns so you can step into the freedom and magnificence that's been waiting for you all along.
Because when you stop playing small...
When you stop accepting energy drain as normal...
Everything changes.
