In this episode, I respond to a question from an anonymous listener who writes:

“I always find myself being the ‘fixer’ in every relationship — friendships, family, work. I don’t know how to stop without feeling like I’m abandoning people.”

We explore the deeper emotional wiring behind fixer behavior — and why it’s often less about control and more about safety and self-worth. Inside this episode, we’ll talk about:

• Why fixer tendencies often develop as a way to feel needed or valued
• How over-functioning keeps both you and others stuck
• What it looks like to support someone without carrying their emotional weight
• Tools to break the cycle without being consumed by guilt or shame

If you’ve ever felt like it’s your job to keep everything and everyone together — this episode is for you.

💬 Letting go doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you trust yourself — and them — enough to stop carrying what was never yours.
