“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.
