What if the reason you feel drained is that you’re loving someone’s potential more than their actions?
In today’s episode, we get real about why seeing the best in people can quietly sabotage your life. We talk about how trauma, fear of being alone, and misplaced compassion pull you into fixing, saving, and waiting. We show you why potential without effort is not enough and how to stop turning people into projects.
If you’re ready to take your energy back and focus on your own growth, this conversation is for you.
