15. The Fixer Trap - Why Women Stay Too Long in Unhealthy Relationships

“If I just love them enough… maybe they’ll change.”

Sound familiar? If you’ve ever stayed in a relationship hoping your care, patience, or prayers would eventually “fix” them — you’re not alone.
But today we’re unpacking the emotional and spiritual cost of The Fixer Trap.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• The hidden reasons women stay in unhealthy relationships

• Why trying to rescue someone can actually delay your own healing

• How fear, faith, and false hope keep us stuck in fixer mode

• A journaling prompt to help you reflect on your own patterns with love, loyalty, and letting go

PLUS: I’ll share a real moment from my own story — and a reminder that you’re not broken just because you couldn’t “save” someone.
