They Are Not Your Responsibility
They Are Not Your Responsibility
There comes a moment in healing when you realize that love does not require self-abandonment.
In today’s episode of Conversations That Heal, we’re talking about one of the hardest truths to accept: they are not your responsibility.
Not their healing.
Not their choices.
Not their emotional regulation.
Not the outcomes of their lives.
If you’ve been the fixer, the caretaker, the emotional anchor, or the one who feels guilty for choosing yourself, this conversation is for you. We unpack how trauma, survival patterns, and learned roles can quietly convince you that it’s your job to carry others, even when it costs you your peace.
This episode is about releasing misplaced responsibility, breaking cycles of overgiving, and giving yourself permission to step out of roles you were never meant to hold.
You can love people deeply without saving them.
You can care without carrying.
You can choose yourself without being cruel.
If this episode resonates, I invite you to sit with what comes up, and when you’re ready, take the next step in your healing journey.
