Being able to help someone else out of their mess can feel empowering. When you're the used to being the person who fixes things, sometimes it's easy to try to step in to help others who don't want to be helped or rescued. In this episode, the host Iesha Grove, shares some personal lessons learned in trying to rescue other people who aren't wanting to be rescued. Naturally, as fixers, it's easy to want to come in to save the day for someone else, but this habit can be harmful not only to others, but to ourselves as well. It can cause tension in a relationship, and it can even create toxic behavior patterns like co-dependency. You can even start to neglect yourself and your needs to be there for everyone else- self sacrifice and love for others takes priority because you care and you don't want those around you to suffer so you're willing to do whatever it takes to support them. The issue is that the path to true love is loving yourself first, setting boundaries in your relationships, and taking care of yourself first physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally in order to have the capacity to support others. Listen in to learn the way that you can help someone without "helping" them so that you can protect your relationships and your own mental, emotional, and physical health. After all, you have to rescue yourself first before you can save anyone else.

Please share this episode with someone who is a "fixer" and needs to hear this.
