Welcome back to Unhinged Memoirs! In this episode, we’re diving into a lesson many of us had to learn the hard way: You don’t have to fix them.If you’ve ever been the emotional handyman in someone else’s life—patching up their wounds, smoothing over their chaos, and pouring yourself into someone who can’t even meet you halfway—this one’s for you. We’re calling out that fixer mentality, breaking down where it comes from, and figuring out how to put it to rest once and for all.Because here’s the truth: people aren’t projects, and you are not a renovation team. It’s not your job to fix, save, or carry someone who doesn’t want to grow. And honestly? It’s exhausting. So grab a drink, sit back, and let’s unpack the emotional baggage of trying to fix everyone but ourselves.What to Expect: • Where the Fixer Mentality Comes From:We’re talking childhood dynamics, past relationships, and how life taught us to equate love with “fixing.” • Why Fixing People is a Trap:Spoiler alert: you can’t save someone who doesn’t want to save themselves. • Our Personal Fixer Stories: • Liz: “I thought if I just loved them hard enough, they’d finally see their worth. Instead, I lost sight of my own.” • Jess: “I was the unpaid therapist in every relationship I’ve ever been in—until I realized no one was doing the same for me.” • Val: “I didn’t just try to fix people; I built entire scaffolding around their chaos. Guess who it collapsed on?” • Setting Boundaries and Letting Go:How to stop trying to “fix” others and focus on healing yourself instead. • Redefining Love:What it really means to support someone without carrying their emotional baggage for them.Takeaways: • You can love and support someone without trying to fix them. Their healing is their responsibility. • Fixing others often comes at the cost of your own well-being—protect your peace. • Setting boundaries isn’t selfish; it’s necessary for healthy relationships.Call to Action: • Have you ever tried to fix someone?
