Stop Trying to Fix Me
Sometimes the Pause Is the Medicine

Some people can't help themselves — they hear pain and immediately reach for a fix.
But here’s the truth:

Not everything broken needs a solution.
Some things just need to be witnessed.

In this episode, Gin serves up a fierce reminder for the fixers, helpers, and compulsive advice-givers of the world — and a holy invitation for the rest of us to reclaim the sacred art of presence.

You’ll hear:

  • Why offering advice too soon can feel like abandonment

  • How rushing to fix can actually rupture trust

  • What it means to hold space without needing to control the outcome

  • And why the most powerful healing often happens in the pause

If you've ever felt unseen because someone couldn’t sit in silence with your pain —
or if you’ve been the fixer trying to rescue instead of relate —
this one will land like a sacred mirror.

Sometimes silence is the salve.
Sometimes not fixing is the most loving thing we can do.
Because presence is medicine — and it doesn’t always come with a to-do list.
