Have you ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of your loved one's addiction? Like if you just loved them enough, supported them enough, or said the right thing, they’d finally change?

You’re not alone—and I need you to hear this: You are not their rehab. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into:

✅ Why you feel so responsible for their recovery (and why it’s not your job)

✅ How addiction tricks you into believing you can “fix” someone else

✅ The hidden ways over-helping actually keeps you stuck

✅ What to do instead—so you can stop living in survival mode and start reclaiming your own life

This episode is for the caring, amazing, capable woman who’s exhausted from trying to hold it all together. If you’re done walking on eggshells, feeling powerless, or wondering if you’re the problem, this conversation will be a game-changer.
