E159: Breaking the Fixer Pattern
Manage episode 499715438 series 3481445
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to put down the heavy mantle of "the strong one" and finally breathe? That question lies at the heart of this deeply personal exploration of over-functioning and the quiet cost it extracts from our lives.
Drawing from her own journey, Cynthia shares the story of how she became the ultimate fixer—the HR professional who held corporate secrets and smoothed conflicts, the capable one at home, the friend with all the right words. While the world rewarded her for holding everything together, something essential was slipping away: her connection to herself. Through vivid storytelling, she reveals how this pattern of over-functioning creates an imbalance where we carry more than our share while others carry less than theirs.
The transformation begins with simple yet profound questions: What if you didn't fix this? Who are you when you're not managing everyone else's feelings? How does trust feel in your body? These inquiries open doorways back to our authentic selves—not through perfection or control, but through presence, compassion, and conscious choice-making. Cynthia unveils her vision for "Be the Light," a new community designed for those ready to stop shape-shifting and start living from their truth.
Whether you're the one everyone leans on or you're searching for your own inner compass, this episode offers a gentle reminder that your knowing has never left you. It's been waiting patiently for you to remember it was there all along. Ready to reclaim your path? Your inner light is already guiding the way.
