Episode 181:
Stop Trying to 'Fix' Him: Why You Can't Change or Save an Addict
Today, we're diving into a topic that's close to my heart and, I believe, incredibly important for all of us – the importance of loving yourself first and recognizing that it's not our job to fix other people.
In this episode, I open up about a deeply personal experience. I share my journey of dating someone who struggled with addiction. For the longest time, I thought I could help them by trying to fix them. I poured so much of my energy and love into them, hoping that my support would be enough to make a difference. But what I learned was that no matter how much we care, we cannot change someone else – they have to want to change themselves.
This journey taught me a powerful lesson about self-love. I realized that by focusing on trying to fix someone else, I was neglecting my own needs and well-being. It’s a common trap many of us fall into, especially as women; nurturers by nature. But here's the truth: you can't pour from an empty cup. You need to love yourself first, fiercely and unapologetically.
I want to empower all the incredible women out there who might be in the same situation. If you’re feeling like it’s your responsibility to fix someone else, know this: it’s not. Your responsibility is to yourself – to nurture your own soul, to protect your own heart, and to love yourself first. When you do that, you become stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to support others in a healthy way.
Join me in this episode as we explore the journey from trying to fix others to empowering ourselves. Let’s learn together how to set boundaries, practice self-care, and prioritize our own well-being. Because at the end of the day, the greatest love story is the one you have with yourself.
Tune in, and let’s embark on this journey of self-love and empowerment together. Remember, you are worthy, you are enough, and it has to be Crazy Love or Nothing!
