Have you ever met a man, seen his pain, and felt an almost magnetic pull to care for him?

At first, it feels beautiful—he’s open, vulnerable, letting you in. You feel special, chosen. But here’s the hard truth: if you find yourself falling for his wounds more than for who he truly is, you may already be stepping into the rescuer’s trap.

In this episode, I’m talking to you about:
✅ How to tell if you’re loving him—or just his vulnerability
✅ The subtle difference between caring and caregiving
✅ Why rescuing erodes intimacy (and leaves you feeling unseen)
✅ What it really looks like to support without “saving”

If you’ve ever wondered why your relationships feel heavy, unbalanced, or one-sided, this episode could change the way you love.
