Ep. 006 — (Un)Learning the Urge to Fix Everything


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself trying to solve someone else’s problems before they even ask for help?
That automatic urge to plan, fix, and make things better, even when you’re already exhausted?

In this episode, we’re exploring the hidden weight behind that need to fix everything — the fear of things falling apart, of watching someone you love struggle, or of feeling helpless when you can’t make things right.
We’ll look at how this pattern often starts early, when we learn that being useful means being worthy, and how it quietly turns care into control.

We’ll talk about:
✨ Why helping can sometimes come from fear, not love
✨ The difference between holding space and holding responsibility
✨ And how learning to let go can become its own form of compassion

This is a gentle reminder that not every burden is ours to carry.
Sometimes, true care means trusting that others can find their way too.

You don’t have to fix everything to be kind.
You don’t have to control everything to feel safe.
And you don’t have to carry it all to be enough.
